In a successful marriage, you need to lean on each other,
through good times,
and the bad.
Ask for support when you need it,
try not to get too frustrated,
and always communicate your needs,
whatever they may be.
Remember to always look ahead,
stop to smell the flowers,
and know that nothing is perfect.
But what fun is perfect, anyway?
{Which is not to say that I wouldn’t have loved a decent picture of my three children all dressed up. But, oh, well. Maybe next time. Which, hopefully, will be no time soon!}

The family picture made me catch my breath. There you all are…so, so beautiful. Jeff, you, and the kids.
Then I caught site of the black gloves.
Were you wearing black gloves?
I will be calling momentarily to discuss and debrief. Prepare yourself.

I would add that dressing up once in a while and looking cute also is good for marriage.
Great pics.
Totally remember my mom dressing us up for wedding when we were kids and making us sit with our hands in our laps without moving. Oh and don’t you even dare trying to eat. You kids are so adorable! And next time is allowed to be in the near future.

How often are we able to catch a picture of all our children? I don’t know that we have a single good one yet. Glad you, and your kids, made it back alive.

You look so lovely in that dress Jill! Just lovely! And your kids are the CUTEST : ) I hope you don’t have to try to get them all dressed up anytime soon! It will take years until they all look at the camera. Trust me! What a beautiful family you have. I prayed for you tons this weekend! Whenever we were in the car driving I thought of you and your long trip!

Your family is darling! But seriously, that little one? Oh. My. God.
I love the metaphors!
I think the second and last pictures are my favorite. That smile lights up a room!
We’re going to a family wedding in a couple of weeks. It will be small and almost entirely family, and the bride just informed me that she thought it might be fun for the kids to walk down the aisle before her. Um – okay. We’ll see…
