the kids

all of the kids are amazing. just amazing.

rebekah is the oldest. and takes on that job well...she's so quick to help out if a mom needs it! and she LOVES doing so!

the oldest and the youngest :-)
 
 i got my turn, too!
 
 i was very impressed with the lack of "screens" on the adults part. the kids? that was a different story! thankfully, the weather was awesome and we were outside SO many of the hours. but anytime we were inside, this was the scene...it kept us all sane, but it was definitely a different sight than in previous years - i'm aging myself, but times have certainly changed!!

we got to celebrate avery's 2nd birthday!!!

happy birthday to you, avery!!

just to remember...this was "the kids" 7 years ago...

and now...

crazy, huh?? it would be easy to get focused on the chaos that this equals. but, when i step back and look at it, i'm overwhelmed with the HUGENESS of the legacy in that picture. that is 21 lives. 21 families one day. these 21 children could change the WORLD!
