Time to play catch up on the summer...

We drove over to the peninsula one afternoon to visit Sadie while she was in the hospital.  The kids really loved visiting with Sadie and seeing her hospital space.  I don't think they really realized how boring it can get in the hospital and how much they would miss home if they had to stay there.  They were more focused on Sadie's stethoscope and the view from her window.

We also went over to one of our old favorite parks in Palo Alto.  The kids had a lot of fun but I kind of forgot what a spectacle we were--five kids and myself.  Lorien got cornered by a couple of girls her age while we were trying to leave the park.  I asked her later if she knew the girls some how.  She answered: "No, they just wanted to know if all these kids were by brothers and sisters and where we lived."  We are a sight some times.

I just look at all these bodies and think "Yep, those are my people.".  It isn't until we are in a crowded place and I am working hard to keep track of 1-2-3-4-5 kids that I feel like our family is a little too big.

After the hospital and park we stopped by Will's office to visit with him--and by "visit" I mean "sit-quietly-watching-a-movie-or-drawing-on-the-white-board-if-you-make-too-much-noise-Daddy-will-pitch-you-out-the-window-because-people-are-working".

It is a lot of fun...
