Focus 20 kiddos

The kids had a great time running down this hill.

All lined up and ready to run!

Lejer, Sydney, Andrew, Zach, Holden and Brenna

Grace, Lejer, Sydney, Zach, Jobe and Ellie

Andrew was very attached to this toy and for fear that it would be swiped if he set it down, he chose to run with it.

Megan, Will, Jonathan and Tanya

Will is 6 months and Jonathan is 13 month. Jonathan better pick up the pace!

Jonathan wasn't happy that he couldn't run down the hill with the big kids. I put on his shoes, but he's not quite steady enough for hills. He did enjoy eating some mulch and wandering around the yard!

All the offspring:

Lejer McDaniel, Holden McDaniel, Ellie Schaefer, Zach Glashagel, Jobe Glashagel, Andrew and Jonathan, Brenna Peterson, Sydney Peterson, and Grace Schaefer. Will is the only one not in the picture.

Wrigley the dog jumped in this photo. She was looking for scraps from dinner.

This past weekend the Petersons came to visit and sadly, I didn't get any pictures of them. It was a quick, fun visit and Saturday night we went to the Schaefers for dinner and to "watch basketball." I can honestly say I don't have a clue who was playing or if basketball was actually on. But we had a great time catching up with the Glashagels minus Peter, the Schaefers, the McDaniels, and the Petersons. All in all, 11 kids with one on the way. (Not us, the McDaniels!)

It's hard to believe that just a few years ago - 7 or 8 - we were all single, going to Focus 20 Bible study, meeting our future spouses, having uninterrupted conversations, staying out past 8...And now we have 11 kids, aged 5 and under! Ahh, how times have changed!
