FAMILY SESSION: Family of 8

I'll be honest...

and let me just say right off...

I LOVE my daughters and my nephews and my nieces...

but, these kids...

in these pictures right here...

OH.MY.GOODNESS.

Now, I know that noone is perfect...I understand that...

but, I seriously think these kids might come incredibly close...

I had never met them before our appointed family session...

They welcomed me with big smiles and enthusiastic spirits...

they were cooperative, compliant, patient, respectful, hilariously funny, innovative, imaginative, excited...the list goes on and on...

there wasn't anything they weren't willing to try and they showed such grace to each other...big sisters loved on younger siblings...everyone adored mom & dad...

It's families like this that need to share their "secret"...because there is in internal "joy" that bubbles out of them...I'm not saying that they don't have their "moments"...I'm sure they do, because we're all human...but they've tapped into something more, because these "behaviors" are not just an act...it comes from a deep knowing and sense of belonging...

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them and almost didn't want it to end!  I'm positive that they are a blessing to all with whom they come in contact!!!
