I Got Tired. But it was Worth it.
We had our nieces, Abbie and Naomi with us this weekend. We had a household of 9!
Here’s Naomi!
I’m smiling, Aunt Shanda!

It was very difficult to take a group picture. I hope someone gets a chuckle out of these 2 examples of my attempts. There were about 5 others that weren’t even worth publicizing.
I love you
It’s so much easier to photograph one!
What Caleb is thinking: “I’m gonna take this pumpkin and I’m gonna chuck it in the pond! Enough already!” Then he did.
Real Life
Here I am, talking on the phone to MOM with a baby in front of me and a baby on my lap. The laundry closet is gaping open as it was in constant (and I do mean CONSTANT) use all weekend long. (Why bother shutting the doors?) Rich was a trooper ~ although I did hear him mumble something like, “How did this happen to me. .’mumble mumble’ . . .seven kids.” I even got to go out alone for an adventure which is what I was talking to Mom about. . . .my fiestaware adventure. Oh well, the weekend is over and the week is off to a roaring start. I’m gonna take time to count my blessings now and I’ll share the first 8:
My Husband
Jacob
Ethan
Grace
David
Caleb
Abigail
and
Naomi!
We survived and even had fun!

So true about the ease of photographing one compared to seven!
My 2 nephews and my sister are here for the week, so there are 8 of us- well 9 if you count my un-named unborn child. It is definitely busy around here! Love your pictures, as always!
