Baby picture Sunday: Thankful for my babies

My friend Debi at Who say's Eight is Enough? hosts a baby picture Sunday. This weeks theme is Thankful for my babies! Who isn't thankful for their babies and what a great opportunity to show off my offspring!

first up:

Cadie and Courtney!
I love this photo of the twins... who wouldn't be thankful for two smiling faces who only want to be cuddled?

next up:

Jonah! This was taken in 2004 (before I entered the family) but don't you just love those beautiful brown eyes? I am Thankful that Jonah has accepted me into his life and his family here!

Then there is:

Sammy! He is the one sitting on his sister! He was such a chunk! I am thankful that Sammy has such a sweet, loving and loyal personality! He has the uncanny ability to draw people in and they just fall in love with him! (well, except for his sister who gets really annoyed by his easy going personality)!

lets not forget:

Annalea! I LOVE this picture of her! I think it shows off how vibrant she is! Which, is exactly what I am thankful for! Without my Annie... life would be just dull!

lastly...

JM! Life just wouldn't be the same without JM in it! I am thankful that JM is such a wonderful brother. He is great with the little girls and he shares a love of video games with Sammy and Jonah. He has so much patience with them that I am amazed! He routinely fights with Annie, out of love, but they do have moments they bond!
(I apologize for not having pics of JM from when he was quite little. I have them all in albums, just haven't downloaded them yet. He would have been 5 in this picture)!

Hop on over to Who Says Eight is Enough to play along with Baby Picture Sundays!
