Wow, they've grown and changed so much in 5 years. I am so glad you posted this. I love tradition photos, taken the same way and day every year. It's awesome that you get matching shirts each year. Also, I didn't know any part of your family's story. I had no idea you adopted your children a short few years ago. How did I miss that?!?
Happy 4th of July to you!
Thank you – we are surprised too how they have grown and also how they have adjusted – Thank you for stopping by now i have to come up with a TTOT list. 🙂
