Having a Large Family

I grew up as the oldest in a large family. Sometimes it drove me crazy, but I loved it. So, when I met my husband, I just wanted that big family. He also wanted a large family as he came from one as well. We loved children and always seemed to be surrounded by them, so, this really came naturally.

Several times we flip flopped on the final number that we would have. Naturally. We finally came to a point where we felt that done feeling, but alas, our daughter passed away. That really threw us for a tailspin. We would go from trying to preventing to who knows every month. Luckily, Mary sent us her baby sister and we knew this child would be it. We just had that done feeling again.

We're happy to be able to close that chapter of our life so that we can focus on the ones being written now.

Getting to know me

In my last post, I said that I wanted this blog to become more personal so people can get to know me. So, I want to invite you to ask me questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
