When I went back to school, back in the day, I was so blessed to do so with my dear friend Laurie and her husband Steve. They had 4 kids, we had 2 and we made our school schedules (and Jase his work schedule) so that at least one adult was with those 6 kids at all times so as to avoid daycare. These 6 kids were raised together... In fact I don't think the youngest, Abby, knew that she didn't have 5 brothers and sisters, 2 mom's and 2 dad's until graduation came around! Needless to say, they are growing up so fast... I just LOVE when we all get together. We feel like one big happy family and I miss those days often. I feel so blessed to have them in our lives. We don't get together as often as I would want, but when we do it's always memorable! Here's a look from July 2012 before the oldest child, Jacob, went on his LDS Mission. So glad we took the time to take some pics before he left! :)
