While big brothers and sisters are in testing, Mama gets to hang with three littles. We had quite a few adventures for a few days.
Zoe joined us on the last day of testing and asked if this is what it was like when she was little and there were just three of them. No. No it was much harder because I had three kiddos three and under. A six year old, four year old and baby is easy to juggle!
This girl and her daddy!
Laughing baby showing off a couple of teeth.
NIght times are a real party around our house. Typing contests to see who can get the most words per minute. Zoe’s pretty fast!
Swinging siblings.
Toes are tasty!

Good gravy! He’s the cutest and squishiness bundle evah!
I honestly didn’t get a ton of pictures. This was one of those days that you just enjoy making memories.
Drawing pictures with a blindfold. I did a pretty good job.
Mark did pretty good too!
Our Three Musketeers.
Papa & Grandmere couldn’t physically be with us but we had them there in spirit and through technology!
How we sat through meals!
Tobin liked Uncle B’s beard!
Cousins! Two weeks (to the day) apart and a load of fun.
Tobin thought Cousin C’s toe would be tasty!
Ace stole C every chance he got.
And O took Tobin every chance she could get. Basically, I barely had to hold a baby the entire visit.
Someone decided Tobin needed new hair.
We volun”told” Uncle B that he would be dissecting animals. Zoe was studying biology and what better way to study biology than with a veterinarian as a teacher?
Water beads were made and Emmie and cousin A were ecstatic.
Liam taught his cousins how to play Axis and Allies.
The big kids loved the water beads too!
Soldier of the Lord!
Tobin the Chunker with Cousin C. It took nine babies but we finally have our big baby!
Nineteen cousins! The Lord has truly blessed us all!
All she knows is that it’s forty-five minutes of visiting with friends and dancing. And that’s good enough for her.
Late night run to Walmart and the girls just HAD to try on these giant heads.
Emmie was “reading” a book to Tobin.
And now we have a student driver.
Cool Dude.
Twinsies on date night.

Tobin met the twirly bug. He was shocked.
Bryant knows the love between Starbucks and me.
This isn’t quite how you’re supposed to drink from a cup Sweet T.
At care group one night our pastor was talking and Tobin thought he was the funniest thing ever.
Before braces…
After braces.
In which Emmie learns to not leave her glasses on the floor.
I detest these tops to our grains and oats. Ace, Bryant and several others attempted, in vain, to ope the lid. Drill. Hammer. Wedge. Nope. Mark finally was able to work his magic and get it off.
So sweet and unassuming, but then…
He thought that was so funny!
This girl has all the love and none of the fear of animals. 
We make our membership worthwhile by riding the carousel as many times as possible.
Yes. We did the traditional lion picture. One day, I’ll find all of these pictures and put them in a book!
