Cousins

Todd's cousin Lisa came over for a visit while her husband was on a rafting trip, and they spent the night with us which was such a treat. They live on Whidbey Island so we don't get to spend as much time with them as we wish we could. It was so good to see her and the kids, she is such a beautiful girl, inside and out, and I always enjoy being with her. Our conversations were a little disjointed since we were trying to hog-tie all 7 of our rug rats, well 8 rug rats if you count the bun in the oven (the bun is in her oven, not mine, just to clarify:)). Ella was in heaven having Eden to play with, finally another girl in the house! Ezekial and Jedidiah kept Dawson entertained and the babies had fun watching the chaos unfold at every turn. Thanks for taking the time to come visit, we miss you!

Here is a picture of the bigger kids getting ready for bed, since half the gang are thumb-suckers, Ella thought she'd give it a try:
