Large Families…
I still don’t think of us as being a large family… Maybe that’s because our oldest is only seven. For whatever reason, I just don’t yet. Maybe that day will come…
There are MANY, MANY blessings to having a big family. I realized one of them while grocery shoppoing today: You NEVER have to reach into the back of the dairy case for a gallon of milk that will expire later rather than sooner! 
Around my house, we’re lucky if it lasts more than a day.
So, what’s your favorite part of having a big family?

Even though my family has only 3 young men~ the daddy and the momma~ (My adult children are out on their own) We are praying for a daughter~ The momma needs a little girl helper~
Anyways my favourite part is that I never go to bed alone~~ I never wake up alone~~ The one thing I do alone is a quick Very Quick shower~~ That is only because all the menfolk are sleeping and I do not dare be out of sight if they get up while I am in the shower~
Enjoy your growing family~

The thing I’ve enjoyed most about my large family is just watching the interactions. I really enjoy standing back and watching this group grow and knit itself together, watch cliques and treaties band and disband just to get a chance to play, and fight, together … When it’s not driving me crazy it’s beautiful.
I enjoy bringing my family to a work party and taking over because I brought such a big group that they automatically are in charge. It’s great that when the church is setting up for a rummage sale, or a tea fundraiser, or whatever, the first group they call is us. Often, it’s the last, too.
In the spirit of the small things (like the milk comment), I really enjoy the look on the faces of the waiters and waitresses at restaurants when they ask “Are they all yours” … “Of Course!”
I wouldn’t have it any other way!

I feel as though we missed out not having a big family (ONLY two children). But we do have six grandchildren (Christa’s) and I do enjoy spending time with them, they can really be a lively bunch. It really makes me appreciate the quite times too. That’s what being Nana is all about. The love I get from those rowdy angels.
