Five Favorites, Volume 4

Joining Hallie once again for her fun and fancy-free weekly link-up.

I like this concept, because five just happens to be my favorite number.  I was one of five siblings, and that's the number of children God gave my husband and me as well.  Five is awesome; high fives to that--high fives all around!

So in honor of the number five, here's a favorite photo of my five favorite offspring (it's a five-way tie, no matter what any one of them might try to tell you when the others aren't listening).

1, 2, 3, 4, and 5: Five Favorites.

This picture (if I had to give it a title, I'd call it "The Ties That Bind") was taken way, way back in 1998, at a family Baptism in the church where my husband and I got married.  The littlest guy there on the lower right is now 20.  The oldest brother (the tallest one--at the time, anyway--in the back, in the red shirt) is the father of three and in a matter of months will turn [gulp!] 30.

For all of you darling young "mommy bloggers" out there, here's this mommy-turned-grammy blogger's experience: I blinked, and these five boys turned into five men.

If you head on over to Hallie's, you might actually see some other bloggers' five favorite beauty products worth buying, or five favorite books worth reading, or five favorite recipes worth trying...Here, you're just getting a whole lot of motherly pride, times five.  Go on, then. Over to Hallie's with you.
