In honor of Zoe's departure, we took a shot at getting a group shot (at least with those present today - a couple were out due to vacations and such). We haven't tried this in a long time, mainly because trying to wrangle all those kiddos into one picture is like trying to herd cats into a room full of rocking chairs. Fortunately Aston's mom, Kate, brought along everyone's favorite treat - lollipops! Worked like a charm.
Really - the then and now shots are kind of heartbreaking. Seriously. My heart hurts right now and if I look at these too long I'll start to cry. Who are these babies?!
*Sorry about my pictures being blurry - several factors - a dirty lens, and someone hasn't gotten her new camera yet! *
