5 AND ONE MORE GIVES 6

5+1=65+1=65+1=65+1=6
That's right. This is all six of us. Six! I still can't believe it. Ben and I became a big family, really fast! We were married a little less than seven years ago and now we have four kids. Yes, we think we are crazy and there is a lot of yelling in our house, but there is also a lot of good times. I am sure one day we will look back and laugh at all the yelling and craziness we felt, but I am sure we will miss those times too. Here's to trying to treasure moments amidst the craziness of having 4 children super close in age!

p.s. thanks abe for taking our pictures!

    You have a beautiful family. Love that picture of Glow! I hear you on the craziness of it all, but it sure keeps things lively... never a dull moment. One book I recently found which is short (perfect for my A.D.D when it comes to books) is Loving the Little Years by Rachel Jankovic. There are LOTS of the little years right now to love :)

    Well, they sure are adorable! Really though...what could be better? Someone told me once that she has never met anyone who has regretted having more kids but always meets people who wish they had more.

    Kissing makes babies! (At least that's what we say in our house.) Do people look at you like you're crazy when you go out? We've got three between the ages of 6 and 2, and I know we've gotten some crazy smiles :)

    Each one absolutely priceless (and I only follow your blog)!
    We had four kids in 6 years and 3 months. I understand the craziness, yelling parts and the good times too!
    Our youngest is 18 now and it went by so fast!

    My best friend has 5 so your family seems smaller (!) ;P. I love the photos!! You have so much to look forward to as they continue their journey towards becoming the people they will be. I loved them as little ones and I love my kids as teenagers... it's all fun, crazy and exciting, and full of love at the same time!
