Yesterday I got a most precious gift. ALL TEN of my children were at church with us! It's a rare occurrence to have *everybody* together anywhere. Even at Christmas we're not always guaranteed that no one will be in the hospital! 😁 But somehow, this happened! Our good friend Scotty brought his camera along and we took the opportunity to get some nice pictures of everyone.
And *everyone* everyone. Owen is back from Montana! Earlier than he'd expected. We're super happy to have him back. And he brought back with him Sophie, whom he met while working at the ranch. We're looking forward to getting to know her better, too.
And Bobbi is back with us again - not here because of a picture, but here because she wanted to come along to church for the first time since February.
And Gavin, who's always at church anyway, but it's been such a joy to have him with us at church. That's a beautiful story.
The funny thing is that Matt and I look at this photo, and he said to me, "It doesn't even seem like that many people!" Not a day goes by that he and I aren't so very grateful that God's plan for our family was bigger than ours was! He wanted two. I wanted a "big" family - three kids. Good thing we were both wrong!

Ha ha - I was re-reading this and realized I should share this photo, too. Above is the pretty one. THIS one is the one we enlarged and have framed on the wall in the dining room! 😂 
(Matt and I missed the command to make a funny face, which is why we're serenely smiling amidst the fun around us! But *THIS* is our family!)
