The Population of Calamine Just Doubled!

I've known this family my entire life. I went to church with them, I went to school with them and I could have gotten into a lot of trouble with a couple of them.  (Do reverse drops on the way home from Belmont, ring a bell Pat?)

So when I was asked to photograph the 19 grandkids together in the small country church their parents have attended for years, as a Christmas gift to them...I can't really describe how honored I felt.   As excited as I was to do it; I was twice as nervous about taking photos inside a dark church on a late afternoon in November.

But once I saw them all together smiling, laughing and chattering like a bunch of Calamine chipmunks, I knew it would be fine.
