Sometimes people wonder what a large family looks like on a daily basis.
Does volume mean chaos?
Doesn’t have to.
Thankfully.
And no, I did not have any one pose for the picture.
{I just jumped up and snapped my cell phone.}
Today I had to take Elijah for a dentist appointment
{Yesterday was Isaiah, next week Elizabeth and Liberty}. 
Graham was not with us….but here’s what we look like waiting for Elijah’s dentist appointment a couple of hours ago.
Isaiah, Jubilee and Elizabeth are coloring.
Emma reading.
Liberty coloring.
Elijah was just plain bored.
Evidenced by this:
Yes!
He fell sound asleep on his first ever dentist appointment {while Doctor Dale & I chatted}.
I attribute it to the fact that we have the sweetest and most gentle dentist {he happens to attend our church and does tons of missions, putting his dental skills to practice in third world countries!}
Anyway, there you have it.
Some of our large family at the dentist.
Tomorrow – we fast and pray together!!
The request post will go up right after midnight.
I love it! Love your large family! Been at the dentist a lot lately myself. I can't say I've fallen asleep though!
Wonderful!! To think he slept through it. Hugs
Nearly 11 am Wednesday already in the philippines, prayer and fasting is already underway! 🙂
oh, funny! just got a comment from you & i have your blog open & left it open listening to Everlasting God.
may our strength rise as we wait!
i love this peek at your family. =)
joining you fasting & praying tomorrow. love you, friend.
Love it Linny!! Does it help when new kids come home that the older kids know how to behave? I have struggled with one of my children with behaving at appointments (she abides by the rules at home but out and about 'the world is a playground')- hoping and praying she will step it up when our boys come home.
love this post. . share more of what life looks like with all those kiddos. . .
I love the encouragement that a big family does not have to equal chaos.
sidenote: all 4 kiddos and me have a dentist appt today. . .
Love this post Linny! I am now the owner of an iPhone with camera so I'll have to snap a photo of us at the dentist. My favorite part is usually when someone comments about "how well behaved they ALL are." :)))
