As adults, pictures taken 5 years apart, we don't really see too much of a difference...we see subtle changes.
But man oh man...with kids!! WOW!! Lot's of changes!! Great pictures!!
I love this photo essay idea! If I could ever find any of my old ones, I'd get them to restage it. 'Course, I'd probably have to fork over some hefty bribe money.
Jenn, what a way to catalog their lives!! Love the pictures, both then and now...awesome!!! So glad you shared!! And tell Music Man he has something growing all over his face. ;)
Oh, too sweet. We're taking pictures of Peanut every month with the same bear. Plan on having that bear around for all sorts of things...hope she doesn't mind!

OMG!! I'm pretty sure if we put our pic in now and 3 years from now...not so much changes. But kids, oh it makes me FEEL so old.

What wonderful pictures! It's so fun to see them in (i think) the same place, but five years older!

We did this with my daughter and my sister's twins (10 weeks younger than Alli) at about 1 year and again at their high school graduation.

How they growl? Oh - sorry. You wrote grow!
They look too fab to growl. Unless they are about to scoop some salmon out of that lake.
Are they really all yours? Either I've missed a very important fact or that's freakin' amazing.

That is so cool!
Also, the first pic made me do a double take, b/c it looked like they were all standing on an alligator.
