trying to get a picture of my kids

i sometimes wonder if I will ever have a picture of all of my children looking happily at the camera. at this point it feels very unrealistic. the odds were stacked against me since it was right after church, the little ones fell asleep in the car but woke up when we got them out so we ran into the backyard to take a quick picture, in full sun, on random chairs. but there you have it - my cute bunch of 5 today.
