This is Us

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

So. I had all these photos. And it was WAY too many for a post. So I made a slideshow, because I figured out how to do that now. So without further ado, I give you........ Us!



-------------------------

My friend Emily at Chatting at the Sky hosts a weekly "noticing" party - giving us a chance to unwrap and share the little gifts (and the big ones!) God gives to us in the midst of our dailiness.

Glynn said...

That was delightful -- a smile on my face the whole time.

katdish said...

Oh, what Glynn said!

I was smiling the entire time! What a beautiful family!

My mouth was laughing but my eyes were crying. It's that touching. Great pictures -- I remember so many of the early ones.

Kelly Sauer said...

SJ, you do realize that you were the inspiration for this post - I just took in a few years, instead of a summer... ;-)

Kathleen Overby said...

You just made a menopausal women's milk let down.
Beautiful picture poem.

Danielle said...

So many great ones! Loved it! You just might inspire me to do the same!!

Kelly Sauer said...

Oh Danielle, do!!!

Lyla Lindquist said...

Oh my, oh my. Beautiful stuff. (I can't comment after Kathleen with a straight face, sorry.)

But wait, Red Sox?

Really?

Kelly Sauer said...

oh yes, Lyla. Red Sox. My husband's team. I'm a decently loyal Indians fan, and since we both hate the Yankees, we can be married. ;-) Do you hate the Yankees too?

Michelle DeRusha said...

That was so sweet! Sleeping babies just make me melt into a big puddle.

Unknown said...

LOVED this Kelly!!.... beautiful!

Undeserving said...

Love. Love. Love! Too many to comment on... so many were so precious. It was wonderful to see the new ones of Bredon. The ones from his bath were especially precious. ::Sigh:: Now to return to my own cuties who are crying for my attention... Love you!

the Joneses said...

Ha, that's funny. Because I was thinking that your slideshow was inspiring me to do another one. :) Danielle, if you make a show of your pictures, I promise I'll cheer.

Oh, by the way, Puddles didn't like your music choice. It started up and she leaped out of my lap and looked very annoyed.

Nic Ridley said...

This was so neat to watch! What a beautiful story your pics told!!

Joy said...

And all I can say: aaaaaawwwwwwww! So beautiful.

(But I can't say because I am laughing hysterically at Kathleen).

Elizabeth Dianne said...

Oh Kelly, that was so much fun to watch. I feel like I know you a little bit better.

Beautiful couple, beautiful family.

Kelly, I just watched this with my 5yo sitting next to me. He kept saying, "oh look at that cute baby!" "Oh look at those cute baby feet!" "Oh look at them, they are so happy!"
Seriously, that was such a sweet slide show.

Torie said...

Absolutely beautiful Kelly! Your family is a delight. You are blessed my friend...incredibly blessed!

Beautiful!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing. Your family is just beautiful. :)

Erin said...

This is wonderful Kelly! My boys were watching it with me, and I told them your kids' names, and my older boy said near the end "Piper is getting bigger!" ;) Cute, cute, cute!

Corinne Cunningham said...

First, I want you to take photos of my family :) We have to arrange that somehow!
Second, this was beautiful... thank you so much for sharing (and don't be upset if I steal your idea and do a slideshow of pictures one of these days...).
I especially love the last few of you w/ the two kids, just lovely!

Lyla Lindquist said...

Hate the Yankees? Well, we're big Twins fans up here, and the "Minnesota nice" doesn't always allow for much hate...I do believe that exceptions are made for the Yankees though. Anything else would just be wrong.

Signing Mauer for 10 years...Go Twins!

Laura said...

You guys are just beautiful.

sarah said...

This was so wonderful! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us.
