If
you were here a little over a year ago, you might remember the photo I
posted of my girls and me. It's difficult to get us all together at
the same time to take a comparison photo, to show how much they are
growing. Saturday we had the occasion and, although
difficult, I was able to round them all up for another photo,
showing how big they are getting. Just look at the three on the
right... they've really grown!
*Note to self: Don't wear horizontal stripes across your butt for photos!
Speaking of big, Michael left the hospital weighing 139 pounds. He has put on many more since then and is doing well! He had been cooking since the night before and was hot and sweaty, we all were, but he was still smiling.
The baby is really getting big. Won't be long until I can't call him baby anymore.
I tried to get a photo of the Super Moon and was set up well in advance, to try to catch it on the horizon, when it looks the biggest. You might know it came up at the end of the
fishing pier and was already completely up and round before I managed to get
moved so I could get some shots. The clouds and moisture in the
atmosphere didn't help, either.
Before I hit publish, this next photo is for Karen. Love ya, girl!

i am happy to hear that michael is doing well!! look at that beautiful smile!
oh, kids grow up way too fast...
your grandson is a cutie pie!!
totally enjoyed seeing your photos.
Aww Ms A this is awesome. I remember being around for the first photo and it's crazy just the difference that 12 months make. I guess you almost won't be able to call the baby the baby any more very soon if not now, so adorable.
Great photos! I tried to take a picture of the super moon too but the wires for phone, electric, cable and who knows what else got in the way.
Oh and it's great to finally put a face with the name :o)
Looks like it was a great day!! I love the idea of taking photos from behind. Gonna have to steal this idea when I get a chance. The photo of Michael made me smile.
Cora are you the tallest one?

Like the moon shot, it's really good. I didn't even go outside to look, too many rain clouds.
Amazing how fast they grow. I've seen it over and over and over and it still surprises me.
And Michael looks a lot better than the last photo you posted. Glad he's doing well.
Oh my gosh- love this! They're beautiful!! So, so glad to see Michael looking healthy and happy- wow- so much to celebrate and clearly you are doing just that :)
What a difference a year makes! Lovely young ladies there, Ms. A!
How good to hear that your son is doing so well. Is that a Gatlinburg, TN shirt I see on that precious little one?
Look how quickly the girls are growing!!!! And so beautiful - all of you.
And your grandson - I just want to put him in my pocket he is so adorable!
I am so glad to hear that Michael is doing well - he looks great.

Oh I loved this post. Michael looks fantastic.
What great pictures!!! Michael looks great. Lovely times!
AHH! There you are! Wonderful update : ) Time does fly, but everyone is looking good!
Did my comment post? My computer went wonky.
What a happy, happy post! Michael looks amazing and like he hasn't been so horribly ill a day in his life. So good to hear that everything seems to be settling down (and aren't you thrilled that The Girl is back to blogging again? I've missed her so)!
love this post my friend. I do remember that first photo. They grow so quiickly. Michael is looking great. Smooches!!! P.S. I do not own horizontal stripes. My daughter keeps telling me to get some outfits with stripes. I think you look lovely, maybe I will get some after all.
I love the comparison shots, but it's even nicer to see all those beautiful faces. It's great to see a happy, healthy looking Michael, too.
Be well, MsA.

So much to love in this post! I see you've been passed up in line - in another couple of years, you'll be on the end! What a treat to see your face, too!
I'm so happy Michael's doing so well. Love the smile on his face.
And oh my gosh Ms. A, that moon shot is awesome! What a great capture and composition. Love the color and having the bit of pier in there really makes it special. What settings and lens did you use?
Great post! I'm glad your son is doing so well.
I'm sorry to be so late in reading this. LOVE the photo's. Yes, all of you girls are beautiful! The baby is adorable; and Mike is looking so good. It's unbelievable all that he's been through, and such a huge blessing that he's doing well.
xoxo
Good news and pics for sure...:)
Wonderful family pics -- and so nice to see how well your son is doing. I think your super moon pic is great.
what a gorgeous moon shot! love your profile tidbits, and the comparison shots are cool. Handsome son, adorable 'baby' and all the girls are beautiful.
You are so good with that camera! I love the idea of lining everyone up that way. I hope you can continue to do that every year. Michael looks great!
Michael does look well! First time I've seen him smile! And it's so nice to see you too! Love the photos.
OH, so many things to say here!!!...
First, I am so very proud of you. You know why. And I just love the composition in the photos of you and the girls..You should do it every year as they grow. You will all cherish these pics as time rolls on.
Second.. Michael looks fantastic!!!.. Wow, what a difference a little time and healing make.
And I have never taken such a beautiful shot of the moon, now I'm the one green with envy. You go girl.
:-)
All the photos are fantastic -- you have a super camera too they are so clear..M looks like he is feeling well...the moon shot was awesome - the color!! Thanks for sharing......
Beautiful family. I have a big goofy smile on my face.
Oh and thanks for a shot of the super moon, I'd missed it this year.
Your photo of the Super Moon is superb, even if you did have to move around to get it. I agree that children grow up entirely too fast, That young man will soon object to being the 'baby' of the family. I'm glad to hear that Michael is doing well.
One of the best things about family life is the memories. These photos are a great part of those memories.
The photo of the moon is a great one!
I'm happy to see your son doing so well and looking so healthy!
Love the photo's and so glad and relieved that your son is doing so well. Been on and off line with vacations, visiting and laptop problems. Looks like I'm back for a good while. Hope we can catch up.
What a truly lovely family you have.
You did brilliantly with that supermoon, don't even kid yourself. I also love that you did the comparison shot and yep, everyone is growing into young ladies!
Wonderful shots of you and your girls. I think you look awesome.
And yay for Michael! So happy he is doing better. He looks great. xo
