Family Times

Earlier this week, I ventured west to meet up at my brother’s house with his four kids plus my parents who were bringing the other four cousins to play for the day.  It was a day of much busy-ness.  They entertained each other in the morning.  Ellie found a new place to hang out in the bean bag.

Madison and Landen enjoyed making music together.  Note the concentration Madison puts into it; Landen is more of the entertainer and poser!

And we all enjoyed a little lunch at Wendy’s.  Jeremy had joked that mom should have gotten a free meal as the is basically like a bus driver with a crew that size!  The kids did a great job and were well behaved.  I would have been impressed as a diner in the restaurant.

Today, we went to the park for a picnic and a little fun on the playground.  There was a basketball tournament going on as well, but just provided for some entertainment.

Madison enjoyed the swings (as usual) and the slides.

Ellie is starting to enjoy the swings as well – although she swings at a much lower speed than her big sis.

Erin -
Can't help but comment on these last two posts. The incredible joy that these 10 munchkins have brought to my life is unspeakable. They are all such unique, special little people.It has been so nice to have you and "the girls" closer.
The blog you shared from Summer brought tears to my eyes. I, also, so wished you had had a sister. My memories of me and Greta are so special, but now are also so painful. Sherry is an awesome sister and I wish we could get together more often.
Madison and Ellie are getting much closer - that is easy to see. Life is going to get much more interesting the more they start relating.

I love you & thanks for all these beautiful pictures.
