A couple times each week I walk the nine oldest kids from house 2 home from school. Since today was going to be my last time doing it, I thought I´d bring my camera.
Some of the kids were a little reluctant to have their pictures taken initially, but when I reminded them that I was leaving and told them I wanted pictures to remember them by they started posing for me left and right. It was so very sweet, and the pictures came out really well I think. These are just a few.
Walking the kids used to make me very nervous, as we had to walk down and cross a rather busy road, and the kids would act out the whole way. But finally I figured out a way to get them to behave for me and since then, this has been one of my favorite responsibilities. We just have a lot of fun talking and joking around on the way.

Bittersweet.
how did you get them to behave?
That must have felt so bad to leave them. Of course I know you must have been anxious to get back to Curtis, but still, they are all so cute.
You know how mad I can get with all the whining , stuff getting broke, snacks gone in a day, your stuff is broke or sticky, fighting, etc. But we tend to forget that part.
That's why we had you. We forgot how annoying Rachel was. After we forgot how annoyting you were we had Daniel, then David, then Tabitha and Rebecca, then Noah (who can forget how annoying he was at age 5-6), Abigail and Hannah, then ...
I do too know all their names (not necessarily all the birthdays) but I got to get back to work you know. :o)
