The Em's

I had the chance to visit my college roommate, Emmaly, and stay at her house for 3 days. When Ben and I were dating, she was dating her husband who was roommates with Ben. We have a lot of fun together. Ben wasn't able to go this time.

Emmaly and I both have 3 kids, both in girl, girl, boy order, ages 6 years, 5 years, 3.5 years, 2.5 years, 9 months, and 6 months. The kids had a blast together and really got along pretty well, except for musical beds at night.

I got the cheapest rental vehicle and by happen stance got a SUV with a convertible 3rd row. Emmaly used her magic and puzzle-pieced 6 carseats in the back 6 seatbelts. So all 8 of us were able to go all over. We got quite a few looks and comments when we went places and I thought it was kind of odd until I saw the picture of all 8 of us, and then I realized that we look pretty wild, but so much fun.

The last time I visited Emmaly, Prairie was a baby and she was pregnant with her second, so there were 3 kids. I noticed that we doubled the number of kids since my last visit, and I hope we don't double between now and my next visit.
