I love all of my 900 cousins, but particularly love this family of Mike Brays. I don’t get to see them that often and so I stalk them on the facebook and pretend we’re hanging out. They are each sweet and driven and adorable and kind, and as of late, given that 9 of them are gals, are dropping left and right and gettin themselves hitched. Each time one does, they all get dressed up and stand together and I just marvel at how much they’ve all grown, and how much their parents have proven that it IS possible to have 11 kids and no duds. I present to you Elli, Jonas, Epiphany (Bride,) Bessie, Persie, Alathea, Isaac, Mercy, Nicea, Gethsemane, and Petra. That was mostly for my sanity. I STILL GOT IT!
