And Andrew is not, but he is counting the days (nine weeks apart is a long time when you are almost 5)! We had fun at this little party Jono and Bonnie gave for Jonny on the 2nd of July.



The cake Bonnie made in 20 minutes was a hit!!
The food was great too!

This is the third summer these 4 have enjoyed getting to swim together!


Last year!


And the year before!

"Peter can I have the baseball?"

They really don't have this down yet, I spend lots of time encouraging them to work through this sort of thing.

How good and how pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity!

My first baby got married last Saturday!

        ....and I cried....

I didn't give birth to him nor did I "raise" him
but I DID love him with my little God given mommy heart
I did hold him and pray for him, kissed him and changed his diaper a time or two.
I taught him his colors and how to play tough.
I cleaned his room and helped him dress.
I read books he liked so we could talk about them.

And as I hope will happen with my "real" children one day he became my friend!

All I could think about Saturday as he stood there waiting for his bride to come down that aisle was "that was my baby, he was once small enough for me a 4 year old to hold in my arms!"

I'm so happy for him and I know Elizabeth is Gods chosen one for him!

As I sit here expecting my "11th" baby I realize I have a lot more weddings to cry at!
