Kids + Mess = Fun!!

Nic and Ingrid came and stayed with us for a few days before they left so that we could spend more time with them and the kids would have more opportunity to play together. While it was crazy having that many kids together under one roof, we had such a great time together. The first two nights the four older kids had a sleepover in the girls' room. Both nights they were so excited that someone had to go in and lay with them for a while before they would settle down and go to sleep. They spent a lot of time playing outside (it was so nice out for January), which was great to run off some of their energy. While Aubrey was at school, Chloe spent a lot of time playing with the boys. And then when Aubrey came home, she and Maximus were inseparable. Both girls were very sad when the Timms had to leave. Aubrey missed playing with Maximus, while Chloe missed having the boys to play with while Aubrey was at school. The house was definitely too quiet when everyone left. It was so sad to see them go knowing that it will be awhile before we see them again, but I'm so thankful for the time we had together.

I'm glad your family and Nic's could spend that time together.
