Every time we go to the beach, we get a picture taken. All of the siblings on a bench, the same order every time. When we took the first one, there were only five of us.

By the next picture there were nine...

| 2008 |
Then there were 11 (12 if you count baby Jack in my belly!)...

| 2009 |
We missed the next year, but this summer there were 12 (plus one missing 10 year old, and 1 baby Luke in my belly,so really the grand total is up to FOURTEEN!). Also...this is a much smaller bench, aside from me no one is any wider than usual!
