Our house is finally on the market! Orlando, here we come!

(Well, we have to sell the house first, but here we come, none the less!)

After 9 months of beating our house into submission, and getting it into shape, we have finally listed it, and put it up for sale. Please pray with us for a quick sale.

Please take a look at it at our realtor’s website here, and you can also see a few more pictures on Realtor.com here.

Thank you to everyone who helped us in the renovations. We wouldn’t have been able to finish without you.

I will be posting some before and after pictures in the near future.

Ok, so 24 kids went to Wendy's and here's why...

A couple of weekends ago, we went to Orlando to meet up with some close friends of ours, the Grahams, and the Lapennas. We've known both the Grahams and Lapenns since our two oldest boys were very small. We were in the same church, went to the same small group, and hung out together as familes, as much as we could. Almost every Sunday, we went to Wendy's after church to eat lunch. It was a very small restaurant., but we fit just fine.

Over the years, all three families have grown, not in volume so much, but numerically. Well, maybe some of us have grown in volume (Richard you know who I'm talking about!) Today, I doubt all 3 familes would be able to fit in that small Wendy's on Colonial Drive in Orlando, so we found a new place to meet the other day. Same restaurant chain, different location. Here's the result:

Some statistics:
3 familes
24 children (Grahams-7; Hendersons-8; Lapennas-9)
9 boys
15 girls
Ages range from 19 to almost 2
All 3 familes have 3 boys each
All 3 familes have a boy as the youngest
2 familes have an "Andrew Scott"
That's 16 woman years of pregnancy
162,000 diaper changes (for a cost of $55,848.00)
Etc., etc., etc.
