Saturday began with a birthday party for R to attend at the local dairy. He had a good time, and only made it twice to the cake before I could get there and prevent his grabbing a piece off. He was patient. Cake is the reason God made birthdays, you know.
Next we drove to Cincinnati for big picture time at the park. A friend of K came to do some professional photos for a song, because he's still learning. The kids were all marvelously cooperative, with just a few brief lapses. It was over quickly and we went to my brother's for food (delicious, D!) and another cake. At one point D put on Laurie Berkner and the 5 cousins in their matching white tees were dancing around madly, with the two babies looking on. It was a scene.
Finally, we drove home to YS and visited with DOS and Grandpa, and the Sheridans. It was a very nice visit with more fabulous food and many children. Here is E with her 6th (and she's only 30!). It was a pleasure to visit with someone who made no incredulous comments about our 4-kid family; who was, indeed, totally unimpressed. ;-)
Ryan made a friend with #5 - they walked around like this for most of the evening.
And I almost forgot... we ate cake!
Ryan got his hair cut! He looks like such a big boy from the back in that picture. So adorable.

Wow. Only wow. Your kids are just wonderful.
Six, though. I'm impressed they're in clothes that match! I'm not up for that. Maybe if I was only 30. . .
