A Big Family Feel

We actually pulled it off--waking, feeding, dressing and loading six children for church this morning. And we were fashionably late, no later! How fun it was to sport a family of eight and have friends interact with the girls as though they had always been with us. We could defibnitely get used to this big family feel. The older girls are so helpful, and all three of them are quite responsive and pleasant. They do have their typical sibling conflicts, just to keep our feet on the ground and expectations low enough for them to have space to fail.

After church we had a successful lunch time at the food court, afterwhich a successful stroll around the mall. Right now, all are resting.

Oh, did I mention that we are just finding out that the middle girl is allergic to our cats? So much for "no known allergies". Benedryl is keeping her afloat.
