Peter and I felt like our family was "flash-forwarded" 5 or 6 years this past week. We had the great privilege of watching our friends kiddos while they were having their 4th little boy, so we became a family of 6 1/2 overnight! It was kind of weird to think that in 5 or 6 years we could really have that many kids of our own....yikes! No promises though, grandparents, ha :-)
They were with us from Wednesday night to Saturday night and their adorable little brother Nehemiah Joseph was born on Thursday night. He is just precious!
Our days were full of getting kids to school (2nd grade and 1/2 day kindergarten), puzzles, coloring, lots of snacks, naps, music, toys, baking, running errands, visiting their brother in the hospital, attending our church's Thanksgiving dinner, movie nights, dinner at Pizza Hut, baths, bike riding and video games.

We had a blast! Benjamin adored having his friends with him and we did too. They are such great kids and though it definitely made for some busy activity-filled days, we missed them when they left on Saturday night.
I love ferocious princess Haddie! Nehemiah looks just like a Zderad kid, so cute! Missing celebrating life with you all, celebrating from Portland!
