playing outside

It sure is fun to watch little C play like a big boy.  He really enjoys it!

All I ever have to do is call his name, and he gives me the biggest smile!!

Look at how Molly has grown!!  She looks so different to me, even her coloring has changed.  She used to have dark patches around her face, and now it is all the same shade of brown.

She is a really good puppy.  She hardly ever barks.  She is very high energy when all the kids get outside, so we have to make sure she is on the zip line so the little boys can run around freely.

Daddy C has been training her, and the big kids take her for walks.  R is very good to remember to check her water and feed he throughout the day.  She is much more responsible than I ever was as a child.

I always love how the big kids play with the younger ones so willingly, just b/c they want to.

These pics of R jumping rope make me laugh  :)

If you notice we have 3 extra kiddos.  I noticed last night when I was outside counting that we had 8 kids playing in our backyard.  The kids have made so many friends.  I love that our neighborhood has a lot of kids.  Someone is knocking everyday.  These that were playing today, are just half of them.  We'd already turned away 4 others that had knocked during suppertime.  They tried to gather them back up but they couldn't come.  The kids are just loving it!!
