Pictures...........

So here are some pictures I've been promising you.  We had our "professional" photos done (how professional can the photos be when you can't get everyone to sit still for 5 seconds????  Our photographer works miracles.) so the blog pictures should be updated soon and I will share my favorites then.  Something is wrong with our camera so all of these are from my phone which doesn't do the best, but we work with what we have.

The first 2 pictures were taken at the Shinn Family reunion over Thanksgiving.

This is Stan (Norman's dad) and all of his grandchildren.  Back row: Leland holding Abby next to Greg.  Middle row: Noah, Bear, Alice, Grandpa Stan, Nolan.  Front row: Christopher. Off to the side holding mommy's hand, Chloe

This picture is 4 of the 6 Shinn brothers.  The 2 missing are older than Norman.  Back row: Josh, Timothy, Christopher and Norman.  Front row: Stan.....Missing are Stanley Jr. and Stanley Wayne (don't ask)

Today, the babies were helping with the laundry (as evidenced by the laundry - clean - all over the laundry room floor).  Apparently that involved getting in the dryer.  You can just barely see Bear's white hair already in there.

This is the window seat in the sitting room.  Abby loves to sit here and look at books.  It makes a perfect spot to sit and knit also. 

Well, that's it for now :)
