Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.

This is why I do not work at Sears portrait studio. Who in their right mind tries to take a picture of 21 people?  11 of them under the age of 5 hello?  Anyway, this is a post dedicated to my sisters and family who travel accross the country with kids in tow, open their homes and host general chaos for extended amounts of time just to allow all of the cousins to spend some quality time together.   I thank you.
