Bonus Children

If you have children, you have bonus children. You know....your kids friends. They're the ones that you find asleep in the morning, when you didn't know they were coming over. They're the ones that you automatically set a place at the table for...and they automatically come to eat. Out first bonus child was Graden. He always made himself right at home...as I'm sure Ben did when he was at Graden's house. Since then, we've had a few bonus kids come and go, but for the most part, they're always welcome. They know the door is always open....and the fridge is always stocked. We miss Graden everyday...and not a day goes by that he isn't in our minds. Our newest bonus is Garrett. I love feeding the bonus kiddos....and they love to eat! Sometimes I have to make deals just so they'll come see me when they're home for the weekend (Chase). In fact, I have a pan of enchiladas to make tomorrow. ;) I'm looking forward to Wyatt's bonus's. Life just seems a little better when there's a crowd at the dinner table. Maybe the biggest bonus is that my bonus children don't get tired of my cooking. Whatever the reason....I'm thankful for all of the bonus children out there. We love you all and the door is always open.
