Miss Emily Anne, 28 - the nurse, still in her scrubbies. (when I was bragging about her the other day, I forgot to mention that she graduated Magna Cum Laude, Bachelors in Nursing...all while working full time at the medical ICU unit of a large hospital:)(she is going to kill me if she reads this:)

Fun to see the kids...I wonder how long I've been reading your blog...the kids seem so grown-up now!
You and your husband have a beautiful family. I know you must be so proud of each of those children. I just love hearing about them. I loved the picture of all of your family outside. Everyone looked so nice. Just think of all the grandbabies you will have one of these days. You have so much to look forward to. God bless.
Karen, I started writing here five and a half years ago. Jeanette, thank you! I am looking forward to grandbabies, although Emily had a dream the other night that I had a baby boy.:)
yes beautiful family!!! hope to meet in person one day!!
I have been reading since Camille was a baby! It has been fun to see them growing up. You are very blessed with your beautiful family.

:) This post made me sit here and smile seeing all the pictures! Have a great week!
What a great post! This might be a silly question, but do Mirielle and Evelyn have the same middle name? By the way, each of your children are beautiful, and beautifully named! I am also Ashley Nicole. I think there was an Ashley Nicole boom in the 1980s :-)
Ashley, yes, two of the girls have the same middle name. Mirielle (and shh, but her real name is Mariel, but she asked me not to use her real name on the blog, so I changed the spelling to the way she would choose to spell it, if she had her way). All the other names are real and accurate except for Mali Rose, who is really regular old Molly Rose. She told me I can mention her on the blog, as long as I spell it, "Mali". Whatever. I wish she was around when I was choosing her name, I would have just spelled it right then. Anyway, yes, the middle name Joy: when Evelyn was born, she was born right around the birthday of a very dear friend of ours, who was about 80 years older than our newborn..., her name was Evelyn Joy. She went by, "Joy", but when I found out her real name was Evelyn, I knew I wanted to name my next baby after her...even though we already had used that middle name.
Beautiful! Thank you!
