Proof that boys can stand still (for a moment)
Proof that little boys grow up
Proof that sometimes you get a girl, even after all those boys
Proof that it just keeps getting better, don’t be afraid that your “now” is the best it will ever be
Proof that you can love your spouse more with each passing year, especially as you watch your children grow and blossom
Proof that there is room in your heart for each and every one of them, it’s a mystery but it’s true
also: proof that Charlie didn’t have time to fashion his bow-tie after serving the altar; proof that my church has one of the prettiest rosary garden’s in all the land; and proof that we own an ever-loving ton of blue blazers!
Wow, what a picture to show off!
Also proof that your boys are at the perfect heights for ‘V’ formations
So maybe this IS proof that it’s as good as it gets? Because symmetry is pretty awesome…
What a beautiful family!!
Love the picture. How many did you have to take?! It only took us fifteen shots, and I didn’t even fuss at anyone.
Love it! What a beautiful family
Thanks for sharing!
Proof that even with a husband, 5 boys, and a precious toddler girl that you can still find the time to pick out the most adorable shoes!
Beautiful family. I am a mom of 4 boys, and love every minute of it!
Proof that seeing the joy emanating from another family can make a viewer/reader’s day!
Awesome picture!! I had to laugh about the blue blazers – I’m up to my ears in them around here too! We just go “shopping” in the closet for one that fits!
Beautiful picture Rachel!! They are all getting so big!
I love it! So happy I rediscovered your blog.
We have a gal in our community who is the keeper of the blue blazers. She has one of every size from 2T to one for her 6’3″ 200lb eldest. She is working to add a pair of black dress shoes in every size. It’s a great ministry to families with boys!
What a handsome bunch of young men your are growing there eh!! And that little “rose” is just icing on the cake eh.
Chiming in to repeat what everyone else has said–what a great picture!
You’ve come a long way from Charlie-looks-like-he-just bit-someone pictures!
Love the pic! Was just asking my DH today about getting a suit for the oldest who will be getting his first communion. Since we will have no less than 3 boys coming up behind him, he didn’t even think twice.
Oh my gosh you have a BEAUTIFUL family. What a blessing! And yes, the symmetry of the heights is just too cute!
Where do you get nice Blue Blazers? I really want a nice jacket for my son and can’t find any that are worth the money.
Amazing. I love your blog and feel like you are my close neighbor and friend even though I have never met you. I really hope one of your boys has writing talent as I think they could produce some fantastic books on all their adventures growing up.
