Some Pictures

My friend Amy's dad is a retired photographer and did a photo session for us at a local park this past weekend. My parents joined us, so we were able to get some pictures for them too (in front of a covered bridge- b/c my mom really like them!).

My parents- Beth & Bill

The kids were sleeping in the car while we took this one- so those smiles are REAL! :-)

A very happy family! We should do this every year :-)

Family Picture

In a picture that could only be described as typical of our family, this is the result of a 2 hour Glamour Shots session in which Meg was the only child willing to cooperate for a posed picture. We opted to go with a photo more reflective of normal life in our household :-)

Beautiful Little Flower Girl

Meg now has being a flower girl down to a science- this is the 4th wedding she's been in :-). She had the privilege of joining her cousins who were all flower girls for her Aunt Beth & Uncle Chris's wedding (Jeff's cousin). They all did a great job!

(partying at the reception with Chessie :-)

It's Good to Be a Teddy...

Anna-Banna

"What mom? I'm not getting into the soda..."

Her hair curled from our picture session at Glamour Shots

Future blackmail but for now, too cute not to post. She wears that hat EVERYWHERE (even up to the bathtub)

Miss Chessie

Our happy little 3 month old :-)

The headband on her Easter outfit pushed her eyebrows down and made it look like she was scowling when she was asleep...

HA! Life is good! :-)

Family Pictures

The kids were much better behaved posing for pictures at home AFTER we left the portrait studio!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter from the Fanco kids! (and yes, of the dozen or so pictures which I took, this one turned out the best... which isn't saying much :-P )

Lovin' the Doggie

The kids have loved playing with Banjo now that he is much calmer! Here, he is sniffing Chessie...


Banjo decided to smile for the camera too! Teddy can climb all over him now and Banjo patiently puts up with it :-)



Anna loves snuggling with him most of all! 

A few new pictures

I needed a new picture of Teddy to drop off when I took him for auditions for a commercial recently. This was one of the ones I snapped in the front yard.



Meg recently had her Grand Prix race at AWANA. Her car is the pink, green, and white on in the middle (her friend Lyric is standing next to her- hers is the school bus). Meg finished solidly in the middle of the pack, which we were pretty proud of considering it was her first time ever making a car :-)




I've been blessed with another smiling, happy child!


Looking like a mix between Meg and Teddy, Chessie still has some features that distinguish her from the other kids, including blue eyes (the other 3 were born with brown) and red hair! 

House

This is a picture of the house that we want to buy!!! It's currently in forclosure and would be the same house payment as our current house, but almost 3 times the size! Our current house is officially now too small for 4 kids and a dog, so we're in the process of getting it on the market. If it sells quick enough, this is the house we'll be putting an offer on :-)

PS- Meg took this picture. I think she did a GREAT job! 

A Few New Pictures

The 4 Fanco kids- freshly bathed and ready for bed :-)


9 Weeks old already!



Chessie loves to read the paper with Daddy, just like Teddy and Anna used to!


Ahhh, the joys of finishing the basement. Here, Jeff demonstrates measuring insulation... 

For My Dad

For My Dad

 
Teddy is constantly asking to hold his baby sister. He sings to her and kisses her head- it's the cutest thing ever :-)
