babies x 7

I feel so incredibly blessed to be surrounded by a group of strong Christian new mommies these days.  On a semi *daily* basis I bet I call one if not six of them.  When one baby has a bad night or is being cranky we can always encourage each other since the babies range from 9 months down.  I know as I transitioned into mom-ville I had no idea what to expect - I thought I did, but oohhh was I short sighted.  These other women (I rarely use that word because I think it makes us sound old) are like my life line now.  There is only so much my dear Matt can handle when it comes to all of the *thousands* of things that run, race through my head all day.  These other mommies usually can relate!  Plus, while we catch up or ask what is usually not a silly question about the color of our baby's spit up and what not, the babies can all play (or cry) together!  

This last week was the first baby party post winter cold season.  It was sooo good to see everyone and how much the babies have all changed!  There are some mommy and baby pairs that are missing from this picture (but as soon as school is out they'll be joining us!).  But how amazing to get 7 babies all awake and happy at the same time.... wow.

The babies are oldest to youngest from left to right. *hardest picture ever.

Blaise (9m), Meredith (8 1/2m), Parker (8m), Graham (7m), Austin (7m), Will (6 1/2m), and Nora (5weeks).

Sooooo cute!
