These 7 are some of my favorite people. ??I fell in love with Daniel first. ??Daniel is the oldest of the five. ??We met at the park when Daniel and Tanner were 5 years old. ??They were both just starting their homeschool experience and were enrolled in AZ Sportz Kids (formerly, Athletes in Training). ??Tanner was scared to death those first few weeks and Daniel was giving me pointers on how to help him acclimate. ??It was one of the funniest and most endearing conversations I have had with another five year old to date. ??Daniel always makes me smile. ??(And brother Micah, he is the fourth born in the lineup, does an amazing impression of older brother Daniel. ??He performed for me recently and I was amazed at how well he can pull off an imitation of his older brother). ?? He is also a good little musician (see him with guitar below). ??Second born brother Josh, is the more serious of the five (but still full of smiles). ??I have had the chance to have some pretty deep discussions with Josh because he is a true thinker with a great big heart. ??Miss Rachel is a doll. ??When she was a toddler, she really got me itching for a girl. ??She and Tori are now great friends and recently enjoyed a tea party together. ?? And then there is baby Luke. ??At 3, Luke is his own person and was amazingly well behaved for a toddler at a photo shoot. ??I thought he would be our wild card but he wasn’t. ??In fact, I may never again in my lifetime do pictures of a family of 7 with such ease. ??Their mama is like the paparazzi with her phone camera so they are well conditioned to random portraits.

Love you all!
