and now for the people you really want to see:

(grandpa flip, sierra, gabriella, samantha, sophie, lydia, nora, hailey)

this is us trying to get a group shot with seven little girls under the age of 5.

just in case you're newer to the blog:

Samantha and Sierra (Jonathan's oldest) are EIGHT days apart.

and

our two-sets-of-girl-twins-that-don't-run-in-anyone's-side-of-the-family are three weeks apart (mine and Lindsey's due date was ONE day different!!! our twins were early, their were late - which explains the three week difference).

my parents went from no grand kids to SEVEN grand girls in two years and four months.

We are happy that they are in Germany and that he's not in Afg. but we sure do wish they were right around the corner!

WE MISS YOU NANA....it just doesn't feel any where near complete.
