Wow I didn’t realize the age difference between Mira and Chris, but they seem to be doing splendidly! All the kids are sooo cute.

- Elizabeth on September 10th, 2009

Lovely pictures of an adorable family!
Mira doesn’t look like 41 at all!

- noa on September 10th, 2009

Awww, what a gorgeous family. Just gorgeous.

- Emma on September 10th, 2009

They are so gorgeous! I think their daughter looks like daddy, and the boys look like mom, or a combination of both, very cute!!

- Mia on September 10th, 2009

Her kids are gorgeous!

- SY on September 10th, 2009

You go girl!

Gorgeous family!!! LOL @ janie’s comment…I agree! Good for her!=)

Love that bedding. Anyone know where it’s from?

- jasmine caron on September 10th, 2009

cute family. i love the baby bumper. where is it from?

- Jeannette on September 10th, 2009

Wow, all of their kids are gorgeous! What a beautiful family!

- J.D. on September 10th, 2009

wow those kids are adorable. I love the name Mattea

- Lauryn on September 10th, 2009

Holden Backus?
HOLDING BACK?

- lo on September 10th, 2009

What a beautiful family. Mattea and Johnny could pass for twins!

- JMO on September 10th, 2009

What a great looking family and her husband is a hottie! I know it’s hard to get pictures of everyone smiling and looking at the camera, but the pictures are to introduce their baby so you think they would have picked better pics of the baby. The first one just looks weird because he’s in a weird position and looks smooshed and the next one he is crying. Also, nowadays with photo shop, they could easily make it so everyone in the picture is smiliing and looking at the camera by taking heads from good pictures and combining them into one picture (my mom, her siblings and grandma got professional pics taken and there was one picture that was perfect of everyone, exept my mom who blinked. So they took a good one of her from another picture and replaced it on the good picture with her blinking and viola…perfect picture!). Cute kids though! And I love their names!

- Becky on September 10th, 2009

OK…first of all, Mira looks more like 31 than 41. She looks so young! And second of all, holy crap that’s an adorable family! All of their kids are just gorgeous! The whole family is gorgeous!

- Stephany on September 10th, 2009

Becky, that’s actually what I love about the photo, is that it’s not totally posed like so many of these photoshoots can be. You have 3 little ones, they aren’t going to look perfect. I love that you can really see the family’s personality in the first shot.

Lo there is a big discussion in the birth announcement post about that if you click that link.

Anyway the pictures are wonderful. My favorite part is Chris’ beaded bracelets, I bet Mattea made them for him.

- Brandi on September 10th, 2009

Absolutely beautiful family! Would not really ever post but had to comment! So very cute!

- Laurie on September 10th, 2009

What a beautiful family!

- Liliana on September 10th, 2009

What a GORGEOUS LOOKING FAMILY!!! Mira and Christopher look so happy with their family!!! I wonder if Holden will be their last because the family looks pretty complete! CONGRATULATIONS to the Backus family!!

- Crystal on September 10th, 2009

mattea and johnny are so cute! so is holden

- Tina. on September 10th, 2009

Absolutely a lovely family. Congrats.

- Benigna Marko on September 10th, 2009

She so does not even look close to 41!

The kids’ names are all different styles in my opinion…

I love the name Holden…it has been my favorite boy’s name since the first time I read Catcher in the Rye. My husband however hated it b/c it was a redneck town near where he grew up.

- April on September 10th, 2009

Lovley family! and baby Holden looks like a little doll!
I agree GO MIRA GO MIRA go for that younger guy!
tehe

- Layla on September 10th, 2009

Living with younger man makes woman look younger too. This is another proove. Look at Demi Moore.

- Mariel on September 10th, 2009

Cute family!!!!

- Alicia on September 10th, 2009

What a beautiful family. All of them look so happy. The kids are just precious.

- Elizabeth on September 10th, 2009

Lovely fam! I also love how un-posed the photos are. Everyone looks happy and healthy.

- Erica on September 10th, 2009

I love the look on Mira’s face! With everyone else being giggly and silly, she looks like she’s thinking, “Yeah, I have a crazy family and I LOVE IT!”

- Sheri on September 11th, 2009

Wow! They just look so happy and natural…

I love these guys! ☺

- gargoylegurl on September 11th, 2009

happy family!

- cassie on September 11th, 2009

wow – how beautiful!

- meghan on September 11th, 2009

In the first picture they’re daughter reminds me of Alyson Denisof; they have such a beautiful family!

- Kait on September 11th, 2009

40 is the new 30. yup. Mira sorvino, hallie berry, demi moore, naomi watts, juila roberts, sandra bullock… many more.. they all look atleast 10 years younger.. either that or im getting old, therefore everyone is starting to look younger…

- Lauren on September 11th, 2009

I have to agree with everyone else – what a gorgeous family! Mira definitely doesn’t look 41 and they look soo happy. The kids are adorable, I bet they’ll all grow up to be heartbreakers. I love the fact that baby Holden is named after his maternal grandfather, Paul Sorvino. That was a beautiful thing to do, seeing as they named Johnny after his father. Maybe Chris’ dad was/is named Terry..? Does anyone know?

Anyhow – gorgeous children!! All the best of luck to the Backus family!!

- natalie on September 11th, 2009

What beautiful photos! Mira has a lovely family.

Natalie you are right, they explain his name here

So happy for her.

- April on September 11th, 2009

Stephany, I couldn’t have said it better myself! I never realized how beautiful their children are and what a freakin’ hottie her hubs is!

- Harley on September 11th, 2009

Oh. My. Gawd. Are you kidding me? This is perfection! Perfect picture. Picture perfect family! Made my day!

- Naike on September 11th, 2009

Whoa! Her hubby is HAWT!!!! They all look so happy together. I also love the beaded bracelets he has on, my daughter makes that kind of thing for me all the time. And I love to wear them! This is an absolutely adorable family!

Go Mira!

- Shannon on September 11th, 2009

Mira looks AMAZING! She does not look 41 at all. Those children are beautiful. They look like such a happy family. Good for them!

- Samantha on September 11th, 2009

what a perfect family.. love it.

- Bella Mama on September 11th, 2009

What a beautiful family!

- Jennifer on September 11th, 2009

Lovely family!

- Ella on September 11th, 2009

I agree, what is 41 suppose to look like? IN MY CULTURE, Just kidding that hits a nerve lol …anyway This is the perfect looking family and they truly look so happy. I like Mira Sorvino she seems to be down to earth. Have a great weekend CBB lovers.

- Evy Miami on September 11th, 2009

How adorable the whole family is!

- missloUiSiAna on September 11th, 2009

Those kids look soooo good!!!

I was wondering though.. I keep seing photo’s of nurseries with those bumpers. Are they really that normal or is it just for the photo??? People are not allowed to use them here so I was wondering…

- Noelle on September 11th, 2009

I really don’t know, Noelle. I don’t use them but most people I know still do (“but they’re so cute!”)… And they sell them everywhere, even though the American Academy of Pediatrics (or whatever their name is!) absolutely says not to use them… I don’t know that I would have heard about this recommendation though if I hadn’t researched it myself. I was terrified of SIDS and so did everything to try to keep the risk down…

- mmh on September 11th, 2009

what a gorgeous family! they look like they have their hands full!

- mims on September 11th, 2009

What a gorgeous family! They all soooo happy too!

- Brooklyn on September 11th, 2009

That first picture is probably the most gorgeous family photo (celeb or not) I have ever seen…..I am in awe!

- mcummings on September 11th, 2009

Beautiful family, but y do people have to put such negative things on a positive situation. Becky y would they as in ur words ”photo shop, they could easily make it so everyone in the picture is smiliing and looking at the camera by taking heads from good pictures and combining them into one picture ”, that would be fake and if they are introducing their family they want it to look like a REAL, like any normal family not some made up fake photoshoped thing. ps: BEAUTIFUL

- Jen on September 12th, 2009

The family is so cute. Mira is stunning!

- mochababe73 on September 12th, 2009

So cute! I think they are a great couple anyway….many congrats!

- Shannon on September 12th, 2009

aww what a beautiful family I can’t believe she is 41 ! She doesn’t look it at all.

The bedding is by Serena and Lily

- Heather on September 13th, 2009

That is just a beautiful family! I can see the joy and happiness around them in that photo.

- Carly on September 13th, 2009

Aw, so cute! It is good to read the baby seems healthy having such a difficult gestation. Also good that Mira made it through the pregnancy safely. I can’t imagine how scary it must have been during those trying weeks!

- eternalcanadian on September 13th, 2009

41 is still young! Why shouldn’t she still look beautiful and vibrant at 41? And as Mariel said before having a younger (and very hot!) husband would sure help to keep yourself looking “young”!

- Sharon on September 14th, 2009

Beautiful! I can’t get over how big Mattea and Jonny are now! Time flew by with them, and little Holden is adorable. Cracks me up that in both photos he seems to be like, “People, please! I’m trying to sleep here!”

Oh, and I still want to kidnap Christ for myself!

- FC on September 18th, 2009

Mattea looks like her father I expected her to look like her mother.

- kimberley on October 11th, 2009

beautiful
