Our Family Portrait





Luke and I decided to take a picture with ALL 5 dogs today outside. Madison hasn't officially met everyone and we weren't going to start today. So, we were very careful and had a blast! They were really good which surprised me. Stormy almost never stopped barking...not out of the norm for her. The top photo here will probably be in our Christmas cards...who knows! I love animals better than I do most people. I was reading Noahs Ark to a little boy in preschool the other day, and it hit me. God also cares for animals...if he didn't, he wouldn't have saved the animals on the Ark. God entrusted Luke and I with these animals. So, I guess we are todays "modern-smaller version" of Noah. And, by the way...we weren't going to even try to get the cats and guinea pig in this picture!

Melissa, I can only imagine the chaos that ensued as you tried to take these pics, but they turned out cute. It will be a great Christmas card photo!

I think if you have one more residing animal at your house, then you will have to get a permit from the city!

Cute pics! You should have taken a video of all the work involved in that picture! I'm so glad that you have a special place in your heart for all those animals that need a good home! Those dogs sure are lucky to have you as parents!

I love my granddogs! Getting them to be still that long is great! With Snoopy howling and Stormy barking, I can only imagine! I will be proud to have a Christmas card with them in it! Grandma loves you Stormy, BJ, Samson, Snoopy, & MadisonMurphey Willwums!
