I grew up with two sisters and a brother who all happen to be among my favorite people, closest friends, and role-models. We always try to reminisce, remembering what it was like growing up with a big family. It only took thirty minutes with the Thoennes family to remember exactly what it was like. Busy. FUN. Playful (all the time). Tickling. Kidding. 24/7 Captive Audience. F.U.N. I feel like the Lord looks at families like the Thoennesses and laughs, giggles, tickles, gives squishy hugs (quoting Emery), and is right there in the mix. Taking their photos made me happy.
