Like Herding Cats

😄you are right Bev, she really is. Thanks

The three year old is in military stance. So sweet a picture. Lovely family. 2-12-23

My pleasure Pam, thank you

Love this grandchildren photo, Jill! Thanks for sharing! ❤◡❤

♥

Absolutely agree, like them lively. Just the same Jaklien 😉😄

Lovely, right? Children with lots of life in them, how were we ourselves?

Sweet rascals - perfect description Marina. Thank you

A beautiful arrangement of the sweet rascals of your family

Donna you are sweet and yes that is so funny as I can see what you mean. Hugs my friend

I'm still marveling over this sweet photo. You're sleep-deprived 3-yr-old reminds me of a cute little frowning Care Bear.❤️

Thanks Janet ❤️ Yes we are blessed. Hugs my friend

WOW! You are so blessed Jill. Thanks for sharing with hugs. 💕

Must be Janet 😊

Suzy you are so kind, thank you. 😄

SO LOVE THIS!!!!

No more stepchildren on the horizon at the moment, Jill. Actually, my mum was a twin boy/girl too, so must be a family trait

Thanks daasha 😄💕🤗

Jill, that was very well done! 😉💕

Janet it is great. Our eldest son and wife lived in Gurnsey for 9 years but came home before their second child was born and our youngest son was in USA for four years but that was pre having a family. How lovely having twins in your extended family, is there possibility of more step grandchildren?

Lol yes it is a great harvest Dobra. I have been told this is our lot, and that’s ok 😊

This is a great harvest! Is this the final number or will you continue?

How wonderful for you and to have them all nearby! I have one step grandaughter aged 3. Amongst my great nephews and nieces there are boy and girl twins aged 5 and it is hard to get them both to look the same way/same time for photos lol!

Judy thanks, fun to share. I totally know what you are talking about and this photo is one I could share, some shots had all sorts of things going on.

They are fun Nev, and yes I remember seeing your two lovely grandsons. Thanks mate

Girlinaglass it was for only a fleeting minute 😄Thanks

What glue did you use to keep them in one spot??? ; ))

A fabulous family photo, Jill. We have only two grandsons and they are difficult to photograph together, so we know what is involved.
Thanks for sharing. ♥♥♥

Jill,
You have some beautiful grandchildren!
Thanks for sharing them with us.
I do not see any fingers behind someone else's head that look like bunny ears. I can't tell you how many pictures my kids ruined doing that, just as I'm snapping the pic.

Thank you Sharon. I recall reading that you have your grandson living with you, that’s so good of you. How nice to have all those extras via your daughter-in-law, an added bonus

You are right Ed, I am very blessed. I always hoped for 8 grandchildren as being an accounting teacher I figured it would be good to get a double return from my 4 sons. 😉

I was indeed Voronica, our boys managed to do what their father couldn’t lol

What a blessing! I know you were glad to finally get a grand girl! LOL . . . Voronica~

It would seem that you are a fortunate person, Jill. Good looking bunch!!

Nice photo of your good looking grandchildren. How fortunate you are--and to be able to get them all together. I have one 20 year old grandson who lives with me. His sister lives in New York. But through my lovely daughter in law, I have a step grandson, two step great granddaughters, and one great great granddaughter. We have never been able to get everybody together at the same time. How nice that yours are a variety of ages and each one has one or two close in age to him or her. They will be lifelong friends, as I and my cousins have been.

Thanks Jerry - yes she was determined to do a ‘pose’ and the it was already past bedtime for 3 yr old so she was grumpy. Good to know that it’s even more difficult with cats lol

@JillianB What a great photo! The five-year-old throws attitude...love it...can't see where she gets that (much!) Thanks for making the effort to herd the critters, my friend. We can't get our two grandcats together for even one photo!

Thank you Petra, hope your new year has started well.

Thanks Patti 👍🏼

Indeed Carolee #5 is a character, he lives for fun and sport lol Get togethers are always full of fun, laughter, good food and heaps of noise. 22 yep definitely no more little guy 😊

Val how lovely to see you here 😊 Six is great but what a shame they have not all been able to gather, life is like that these days with many of our young ones heading overseas for job opportunities etc. thanks so much and welcome back hugs for you 💕

Like lining up cats on a staircase ;-) #5 looks like a handful -- ha, ha! But what a wonderful time you must have had with them altogether. (We have only one -- a grandson -- and he's 22 now... no more little guy!)

(5)

Jacki great way to describe them, the 5 older ones had just come back from playing basketball at the local park and still had piles of energy. Thank you

“Cool cats” Donna excellent comment, thank you

Oh yes I can understand why Jaklien 😃 Sound of Music is One of my all time favourites. Thank you

That`s so nice :O)

Jill what a wonderful photo, we have 6 grand children, 2 girls and 4 boys they range in age from 31 to 21 we have never managed to have them all together as two families in Australia and one here. Just love this Hugs💖

You understand then Patti 😃 How many grandchildren do you have? Thanks

That keeps it straightforward then Juba, what a blessing he is

Chelsey the older 5 had just come back from playing basketball at the local park so had been wearing shoes, also why the girls hair is tied back. It’s always fun when we get together Chelsey. Thank you

Yes Lunie and how lovely that you have had extended time with them. We are blessed. Thank you

I know Beth and I don’t take it for granted, so thankful we all live close by. What a joy that one time would have been. Do hope it can happen again. Thanks

Daasha after having four sons it is great that we now have four grandsons and four granddaughters. Glad you have a granddaughter to enjoy. Thanks

This amazing picture immediately reminds me of the famous Von Trapp family in 'The sound of music' ♥

LOL! Glad you were able to herd all these cool cats. Great photo memory.😻

What a lovely (and they all look like a lively) bunch! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations, Jill! 👍 I have only one granddaughter. Thanks and hugs. 💕😉💕

So wonderful that you can have them all together at the same time. I have only four and two of them are in Australia, so it's only happened once.

The two girls here were easier to manage... You are blessed with that number Jill. TFS.

What a nice group of happy kids! Four older ones are wearing white socks. I love it. I am sure you had a wonderful New Year's Eve, thank you, Jillian

I only have one and he’s a cooperative ham.

LOL! We had the same problem with my grandchildren at Christmas! Thanks Jillian!
