Fun with Friends!

My how my kids love company! It's such a treat for them when they have friends come over and play. Bradley goes a mile a minute and is such a good host, finding the best toys of his to share. The other morning I watched the Gilmartin kids for a few hours while JK had to run an errand. This was the first time I had all 5 kids on my own and when I was talking to Mom we realized that I was watching a 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 :) year old. So, I had to line them all up on the couch by age and take a few pictures :) The kids were great, well behaved and had a blast together!

Then the next week we had MORE company! We had our not-quite-monthly-but-as-much-as-possible get together with the high school gang :) Once again, we lined the kids up by age - I even tried to get Lanissa to stick her belly in there on the end so the soon-to-be-born newest Larsen baby wouldn't feel left out :) (For some unknown reason when we were taking pictures of the kids my flash on my camera broke, so now without using the flash my pictures are blurry a lot of the time and it's driving me crazy! So bare with me and my blurry picture quality until I can get that fixed!) I am thankful for my friends. Even if we sometimes go a while without speaking much or hanging out as much as we'd like I feel just as close to them - actually more so - than I did 15 years ago. I love that our kids can play and call each other friends.
