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.

If u don't mind I would like to put in something we haven't seen the Lapennas for about 10 years that means that when they left and we left Orlando michael,andrew,sarah,mary,and maybe me were the only ones born. But every time we get on chat we all most talk our hearts out.
