Charlie with his new bestest friend Gavin (Eric's)

It is so great that we have made sure these kids could grow up with a ton of cousins like we got to.  We all had so much fun with each other.  Yes, they are second (?) cousins,but we don't tell them that.  They all have such a blast together.  To make sure they get a lot of time together, so we let them all, I mean ALL, sleep on the floor in Dick and Joyce's room (How in the WORLD did we get away with that???)

Jack (Lea's) and Charlie (Mollie's). SO many little girls, we put the boys in the walk in closet.  Boys Club!

Getting these kids to calm down for bed time is a ridiculous task, so I pulled out the best book ever - (The True Story of the Three Little Pigs- if you have kids and don't own this book, buy it now) Worked like a charm.
