With every job I've ever had, there have been moments when I think of giving up because I'm so frustrated or overworked or bored.  But there are always these moments that make all the frustration worthwhile.  Parenting is no different.  This was one of those moments for me.

I walked in to find my oldest child reading to my youngest (for the next few days anyway).  They were both happy.  Life is good.

Nolan (well, as close as we can get for now)

The crew

Here we are TRYING to get a picture with Mama.

Guess who wasn't cooperating?

All the boys with their Mama IN ONE FRAME

Impressive, no? (It took only 2 hours.)

Mama loves these boys.

Sweet boy kisses

Aaron is sitting. Quick! Take the picture!

Those are some pretty cute cowboys. But wait! Shouldn't there be a horse?

Ah, yes. There he is. And looking so cooperative!

Sure, you've heard of the headless horseman.

But have you ever heard of the headless horse?

Fine, I'll put the head on. But I won't be happy about it.

It's a showdown.

Happy Halloween, y'all!
