A Simple Observation

Today, we were pulling into our co-op for homeschool and Hannah saw a momma with 5 children.

"Wow, Mom... That lady has A LOT of kids!" she expressed.

"Yeah, hun, she has five children."

"Oh, my!  Is THAT what we're going to look like?" completely shocked at this observation.

"Um, yeah...  It is!"

"Whoa!"

From the inside out, it just seems so normal.  We love the laughter, the joy, the fact that there's ALWAYS someone to play with, hug, cuddle... But every so often we catch a glimpse of the fact that it's not your everyday normal.  We're especially reminded when a stranger comments on the "carFULL of children" or something of that nature.  But, ya know, I truly, truly wouldn't have it any other way.

Just the Six of Us

Six may seem like a lot but only to others. It is who we are. Some people like peace and quiet (who doesn't?), but the quiet we lack we gain all the more in giggles, feet scampering, I love yous, tickles, tiny voices singing. Being a mother to these four amazing little people and a wife to the most incredible person I know is a blessing that can't be put into words; I am living my dream.
