Way Back When-esday

In addition to the Wordless Wednesday pics, I've decided to steal from other blogs that have created a "Way Back When-esday" series. The idea is to post a picture from the past and describe it. I couldn't think of a better picture to start with than this one -- my absolute favorite picture, and the last one we probably have in which all of our kids are looking so perfect (of course, we did only have two kids back then). This was taken on the hospital bed four days after Charlie and Joseph were born. We tucked a wallet-sized version of this picture in every announcement we sent out. Back when we took the picture, we were amazed at our ability to get both boys looking in the same direction, with their eyes both open, etc. As time has passed, we tend to forget how hard it is for two newborns to have their eyes open, as we've moved on to things like trying to get two active boys to just be still! Nevertheless, it remains, to me, the epitomy of a really perfect picture of my baby boys. (We tried to recreate the picture with Will and Helen, but to no avail.)
