    I have had a lot of you ask about my family but have never posted a picture of all of them. Here are two snapshots of my entire family, these are not meant to be great pictures but rather to document the fact that we were all together at the same time. They are spread all over the US so it is not often that we are all together as a family anymore. All of my kids are now married and raising families of their own.

    Thanks Leigh. Just FYI, David (who lives in Alabama) is in the last row to the left of the image. He is the youngest of my children.

    I couldn't agree more about the shirt, what was I thinking? I of all people should know better. Thanks for your comments.

    I do feel blessed Peter, thanks for saying so.

    You have a beautiful family! I didn't realize though that you have 11 children....my goodness there must be a lot of family stories to tell at your reunions.

    It's kind of funny how many of these folks I recognize.:smile: Heck.....that first one is just great regardless of what you were going for. Despite the less than ideal BG you even made the second one work with great positioning and everyone actually having a pleasing expression, looking in the same direction etc....

    It's a talent getting group shots like this. I know I sure as heck can't do it.

    Lovely family Gordon. I bet you guys had a blast together.

    Your counting ability is right on. Your 8 kids is right up there and gives you a great understanding of just how expensive it can be to have a family like mine. We used to spend more on orange juice than some people spent for their whole grocery bill. :smile:

    We do have fun when we get together Gloria. Thanks for your nice comment.

    Yes the shirt has got to go. :smile: Thanks for looking and for your comments.

    Thank you Eric.


    Thank you so much Dave, they are all good kids and contributing members of society. I love them dearly.

    Taking a group picture of our family is nearly impossible. I had to use my sternest voice to get their attention. They all think they are comedians. :biggrin:

    There was many years of work that went into raising this crew but in retrospect it was worth it and now it is really paying dividends. Thanks Graeme.

    Super family shots, and in regards to your shirts, a littel Ps work would take care of that!

    Bravo!
