One of the blessings of having nine children, always someone to read to. Can anyone tell what is missing from this picture?

Can’t count everyone? Is someone missing?

Where’s the baby? Or did I not see him? That chair looks very loved and happy!

A child is missing – that’s the first thing I notice – I think it’s Nicholas. I love chairs where all the children can lounge around and on… Isn’t is just so fun, too, where the olders will be reading their books (i.e. Matthew) and they come out to hear Daddy read the little’s story?

Well, I don’t know your family personally, but I counted 8 children….all tucked in tight, but some other things that might be missing….
A large enough place for everyone to gather and Momma the Momma…
Looks like a loving place to be though….reminds me of how all the children wanted to be around Jesus…it’s fun to see the olders still wanting to be around the bedtime story hour!
Blessings,

OT (Off Topic): Are you still doing Tuesday’s Tips? I haven’t seen any in a few weeks.

I don’t see Kimberly or Nicholas.

Is it only my bad english Kimberley asks what not who is missing. Lovely foto I don’t miss any thing – what IS missing – (except the two persons)?

Love this!

What a sweet photo!

Now that looks like one intriguing story – great photo!
Happy WW!

Looks like a riveting story! Besides one kid… what IS missing? Pajamas??? Darkness? For a ‘bedtime story’??

Ok, I thought that the question would take you all a little longer to answer than the 2 1/2 minutes it took for Jamie to guess that one of the children is missing. Of course you’re right, Jamie and the rest of you. Nicholas our “baby” was already in bed, he just couldn’t make it.
Charlotte,
It is not your English, you are right that technically I should have asked WHO is missing, but I didn’t want to make it that easy.
Carrie,
You also get credit because I (the momma) am missing.
Thanks ya’ll for playing along! I love tricking you all into leaving comments.

Jessica,
In case I don’t ever get it into a post, we are all doing well. Carter is off of breathing treatments and his lung sound nice a clear and everyone one else is healthy and well. I must say that as far as the Flu goes, Swine Flu is the one to get. Not everyone got it and those who did were not too miserable. Carter was the only one who had any breathing problems and we were blessed that it ended up responding well to the steroids. Thanks for asking, sorry that I have been delinquent in updating.

Oh thank you so much for the update! I am so glad your family got it mildly and have made a terrific recovery!
I’m going to go put a smiley face next to your name on my prayer list to symbolize answered prayers.
