Does this photo look familiar? I actually took it last February but it just showed up in the current issue of Focus on the Family magazine. We've been getting a few phone calls asking about it and Spiderman has been getting a bunch of (unwanted) attention among his friends in town. He's embarrassed. :)
I figured I'd mention it here in case anyone else has wondered, "Is that Spiderman?" I actually submitted a couple of photos back in the summer as part of a contest. My kids were hoping for some free Adventures in Odyssey CD's but it did not win anything. Then to our surprise, we were offered a small compensation if we would let them use it in future publications, at their discretion. I was still thinking we'd be paid in product and went ahead with the arrangement. Imagine my surprise when we received a healthy (in my perspective) financial gift right before Christmas. We celebrated the unexpected gift with a family trip to the theater to see "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" (not common with a family of 6) and a yummy meal at our favorite restaurant. It was our special little blessing from God and we were tickled.
Now the kids think Spiderman is famous!

Very cool! Way to go, photographer mom, and love that you got rewarded for your efforts! :)
That's fantastic! What a great picture, too!
I am sure my guys will think he is famous too! They think everyone they see in the local paper is a celebrity, but a national mag, WOW!!
Way to go! Very exciting. :)
