it's in our genes....

to be silly and goofy
and
climb trees
~~
this is my sister
~
my hubby and I did their family photo shoot yesterday
and
laughed until our eyes filled with tears
~~
there's something special about photographing family
~
I guess it's because I know they love me
no matter what I do or say
so the whole experience ends up just being pure crazy fun
~~
there are about a million more photos from this shoot
and
sometime this week I'll get a few more posted
so you can really get a feel for the overall silliness
that swallowed me up yesterday

  7. Your sister seems as delightful as you. How I wish I had that kind of family. I only have one brother...a Mr. Spock sort of guy and he is on the opposite coast from me. We rarely see each other - during a recent visit to my mom in GA, I finally met my great neice and nephew and saw both my nephews which was nice...but family events are VERY few and far between!

  8. Me too, I missed out on having a sister, and so did my daughter. Can't imagine how wonderful it must be sometimes.

  9. My goodness, the two of you resemble each other! Wow. I didn't get a sister, but I'm blessed in that my Sister-in-law and I long since dropped the In-Law part and we simple think and call ourselves sister. I love her. So, I understand this post of yours. Love to you!

  19. What a fun day that looked like!!! She looks so much like you- so much resemblance! I hear you about the weather(in regard to what you posted on my blog)- but I don't remember much of it- my mom died a year ago yesterday so I was preoccupied. I bet you are loving this week's weather!

  20. “Silly, goofy, pure crazy fun, love & laughter” – describes what it’s like being with my family!
    Aren’t we lucky to have such families?
