When it was determined a few months ago that our entire family would be available on the same day for a reunion I knew right then and there that July 6th would be my favorite day of the whole year. I mean, really. Look at these faces! They are every bit as dear as they appear to be in these photos. And that white-haired beauty in the middle? Any day that includes her is certain to be a good day. 

The Babington Family is a treasure that I am so grateful to have been born into. We're a messy bunch, dysfunctional just like every other family in the world. But that's a whole lot of people who love Jesus and love each other fiercely. Four generations who aren't afraid to enter into the troubles and love some more. And speaking of all that love, that's a lot of babies we've got there.
