Friends!

Some of my absolute most best friends came to visit us for a few days ... AND all of their 7 kids, making it 8 with William. It was a blast! I would say the hardest part was the not getting very much sleep, but we have no one to blame but ourselves. The best time for the adults to talk was after 9pm when everyone was finally asleep. Isaac was gone most of the time, working 12 hours days again. And William did surprisingly well! I knew the loud noises would get to him, so whenever possible I pulled him away from the big kids and let him play next to tiny little Nora (she is so much smaller than William even though she is 2 weeks older!) We have so many pictures of them playing and eating together. It was like they knew that each other was their own age and they played so well!

Here are some pics of the kids in the spray-ground that we went to and to the children's museum.
