if i could have had ten children, i would have. they are tremendous blessings (even when i am looking toward the sky and asking "why?")

that anyone would make a comment about your family's size is beyond me. as julie would say, "Lord, have mercy on me and bless them..."

You go girl! I hope my husband and I are as blessed as you two are! May God continue to abundantly bless you!

You wrote: "So far in the past few years I've seen counties pass laws to dictate how many square feet or how many bedrooms a family must have per person"

REALLY??? whoa. Glad it's not my county, or glad that I am blissfully ignorant of it if it is! And how on earth would they be able to enforce such a thing?

Anyway, congrats on this latest one. Prayers for a healthy pregnancy and birth. God bless!

I loved that one, too!! (The Young and the Roostless) ROFL!

I only have three children (would love to have more), but so many of my Catholic homeschooling friends have 5 or more (some as many as 12). Their children are the most polite, well-behaved, well-mannered and well-adjusted children I've ever met.

Love your blog, by the way!

God Bless,
Dawn

God Bless,

"and we were taking up their valuable time purchasing vegetables and milk?"

How DARE you!!!

I am the mother of three. A man looked at my three girls the other day and asked, "Are they ALL yours?" When I said yes, he replied, "Are you trying to set the subdivision record or what?" It's a sad day when having three children some sort of record.

God bless you and Joel for bringing up that gaggle of saints!

Hugs,
Kim
