March SIX

You know, 12 years ago I intended to take pictures of myself every month, as my stomach grew and bulged, nestling my first child.
Then I intended to take pictures of my baby girl in the same place every month, to show how fast she was growing. Same thing 10 years ago when I was expecting my first son. And then 7 years ago when I was pregnant with our surprise-to-me baby boy. And even 4 years ago when I was expecting the "caboose child." Well, by gosh, intentions just aren't good enough. I have a lot of pictures, but no month-by-month photos showing the growth and changes of my children.
Until Now.

No more talk; it's time for ACTION.
I love Steph's idea at Adventures in Babywearing. On the 4th of every month, she takes a picture of her four! I also have 4 kids, but it's past the 4th, and I want to start now...so I'll do it on the 6th of every month, because we are a family of 6!
(and it's past the 6th because I got behind....ha)
kids exercising with me this morning,
you can catch a glimpse of my new green door behind The Artist
And so begins our Monthly Family Photos! Better late than never, right?

    I know, right? ;) Don't think I can change it now. Oh, well.

    And maybe it's a sign...5 for five kids later on...? I still think we may foster to adopt one day.

    We're doing something similar this year! Ours is 6x12 (6 people 12 times). I dislike being in photos, but am making sure I'm in at least ONE a month! lol

    Yes.. I definitely see your family growing one way or another one of these days. ;) Love the pics! I try to take pics a lot - but I am awful about ever printing them off. That's my new goal - print! lol

    LJ, I forgot about that!-- and it's a great idea. We really should all get in the picture. I'll try to take one like that for next month.
