First Family Photo

I was really embarrassed about 2 weeks ago when my mom asked for a family photo that included Piper so she could put it in a book she was making for Brinn's baby. I said, "Oh I don't have a picture of the whole family that includes Piper." I went and scoured our photo folders and the only one I found was one at the airport the night Dan arrived home from Iraq. But you can't really see Piper and Daniel only had eyes for her so he wasn't looking at the camera. Aaron and Christine joined us for Easter Services and Easter Dinner as they passed through on their way home from Washington D.C. Therefore we were actually dressed up and had someone in the house to get a picture of the whole family.

Here it is! Our first official family photo - (it's a shame it tooks us 4 and half months to get it).



And here's one of the kids. Sure was hard to get Piper to stay sitting on Chase's lap.





On a side note - our local NBC station WGAL, called Daniel yesterday to see if they could come talk to him about the new madates for extending deployments. I don't think there are very many local armed service members that have been deployed, and they knew Daniel had been in Iraq so they wanted his opinion. He called me at 4:50pm and said the news crew would be arriving at 5:30. I had showered yesterday but because Ainsley was sick and I knew we weren't leaving the house, I didn't bother to do my hair and I was wearing a big sweatshirt. The baby needed to nurse and the house wasn't exactly clutter free. Daniel arrived around 5pm and the news crew came 20 minutes early at 5:10. AAAAHHHHH!!


I quick got Piper changed and a bow stuck on her head. She and Daniel were spotlighted and if I could figure how to download a DVD and get it linked to the blog, I would show it to you but that is far beyond my scope of knowledge (so if Mark, Paul or Dani have any advice let me know).


Daniel is becoming a regular movie star here in Lancaster.
