family photos

we had our family photos taken a few weeks ago.  to be honest, i have a hard time being on the other side of the camera! i suppose it is a good experience to be the photographed instead of the photographer.
i am heading out to new orleans to visit my sister this weekend.  dana is a 2nd year medical student at tulane and i am so excited to see the city through her eyes.  this is also a treat for myself after the marathon from last weekend.

here is a recent photo of ryan.  i can't say that she is 'my baby' anymore...she insists that i call her 'a little girl'.  they grow up so fast!
