family photo time capsule 2025
photo by Shandy Mikkelsen
Every year, we take a family picture in front of this wall at our church. When Eric and I snapped the first one for our 2010 Christmas card, we had no intention of making this a yearly thing. Then we found ourselves taking photos there shortly after Rooney was born, and the rest is history. We now have 15 photos in our collection, and it's a fun way to see how our family has changed over the years.
When I look at this year's photo, here's what I see:
Rooney (13): got braces, is taller than mom?!, wants to be an interior designer, is officially in her last year of middle school
Finch (9, almost 10): officially a fourth grader, received the National Math Star award (top 2% in the state in math!)
Eric (41) and I (41) have been married 18+ years and are loving this season of parenthood!
