The Great Sister Has a Great Announcement

The 'Great Sister' is expecting another baby!!!!!

A surprise to all. But a happy surprise. This will be #7. She's done it. She's finally caught up with me. I'm sure my mother never dreamed she would end up with fourteen grandchildren just between the two of us.

Baby Sarah is only just now six months old but Mama will have lots of help not only from Sarah's adoring brothers and sister but from her cousins, aunt and grandma who fight over her constantly.

Now, I know why she was pigging out at the Mexican restaurant the other day! Eating for three isn't easy!

Anonymous said...: Great news! She called me yesterday and told me. I teased her, "at this rate we'll never catch up to you" but I suppose if she can catch up to you, we can catch up too. :) We should start saving now for a bus.; 1:33 PM

"May we remember as parents that we are His children, and that He is about the business of changing our hearts, of repairing our ruins, of remaking us. And though He has not finished with us, He has placed in our care His children. May He in His grace keep our hearts aflame for these children. May He give us minds like steel traps that we would never be distracted, that we would not forsake our calling. May He, the great Steward, make us faithful stewards of children, the most precious gifts, of which is the kingdom of God." RC Sproul, Jr.

About Me:

I've been married to my husband since January of 1987. In November of that year our first daughter arrived. Twenty-one years and seven children later, we are living a full life in rural Tennessee. Our children are ages 22, 21, 19, 17, 15, 13 and 9. We've homeschooled from the start ~ back when two little girls sat at their desks filling out preschool workbooks. Boy, have we learned a lot! Now we don't own any desks at all but instead we prefer to gather at the large kitchen table or in the living room with cozy blankets and hot tea to read many wonderful books. I really do love my life!
