Gardner Clan and Organized Chaos

The middle of August we made a visit to the Gardner's in SC. The purpose was to see their new domicile and pick-up their 4 kids to take back for a week in Raleigh. This would give Zoe and Stuart some time "alone" -- it was our thank you gift for all of their hard work in our wedding. Plus we just LOVE those Gardner kids.

There is Josh (12) the cool eldest, Macala (11) the prettiest one, Luke (9) the creative sensitive one, and everyone's favorite and least favorite, the famous double jointed mouth, "Bear" (6).

The original plan was that Danny and I would spend time with them. Well, Danny was still working in VA, so it was just ME and the kids. I have a new appreciation for ALL you multiple children families!!! Even with this great kids --- and I do not lie --- they are TERRIFIC kids --- I barely survived the week. We had a blast from going to the lake, the pool, making forts, playing air guitar, baking cake, computer games, movies...... Truly there is no doubt: I AM the *fun* aunt!

Can't wait to play with them again next year!!!
