Possible? Not really.
But it is what we do, every summer with our best friends the Thomas's
(how exactly do you write the plural of Thomas... Thomas's or Thomases?)

They live in Italy and we only see them a few times a summer, so to make the most of our time together, we have started a tradition of a joint family vacation.
Isabella (4), Elisabetta (15m), Carson (2 1/2), Helen (4m) Charlotte (3 1/2)
For some reason we NEVER get a pic of the adults....wonder why??

We had a great time swimming and playing in the lake and pool at Rumbling Bald at Lake Lure

Was' up??Vacation is always a really great idea.
But our days our full of entertaining the kiddos, and working around naptime.

The real vacation happens after 8:30 when all kids are bathed and in bed and the parents can enjoy some much needed catching up.
We take turns each night sharing about our years, our joys and struggles, and pray for and with each other. It is a sweet time of fellowship with very special friends.

Either way, we HAVE to carry on the tradition and I for sure am NOT getting pregnant anytime soon. It all rests on her shoulders.
