Children, Children Everywhere

My brother and his family are visiting this weekend.  Ben has four girls, which brings the total number of children to nine.  This is a large number in and of itself, but add to that the fact that the oldest child is only nine and you have yourself a veritable circus!  (The exact breakdown, for the overly curious, is 9,9,8,6,5,4,3,1.5,1)


Thankfully, God has blessed us with warm weather and sunshine, so the kids have spent a good deal of time outside.  The other wonderful aspect of this little adventure is that the kids get along marvelously!

 .
Even the two youngest, Avila and Ronia, get along!  They love playing in the sink together.


There was a time when Grace and Angelica didn't get along at all.  But now, they love each other and spent hours turning the jungle gym into a magical fairy house.
