Where has the time gone?

This blog is transposing from dadofmany to largefamilyofmany. All the other posts were from Dad, but he never kept up with the blog, as we all can see. So,I will attempt it myself, with maybe occasional posts from him.

Updates: #1 son is now 16~~#1 daughter is 14~~#2 son is 10~~#3 son is 7~~#4 son is 6~~#5 son is 4~~#6 son is 2~~and #2 daughter is 1.

In case your wondering why child number 7 is listed as a boy, well that is because he is one. They told us he was a girl several times, and we believed that nonsense. So much so that we got rid of all the boy stuff and never figured out a girl name. Then when he was born, there was much hullabaloo, and friends had to bring a boys outfit to the hospital to carry him home in. We figured out a name for him about 3 days later. It was fun.

Then we did finally have that little girl they promised the next time. She is the most amazing baby, and the one that has challenged us as a family. Not because she is strong willed or any of that, but because she is "special needs". She has faced alot of obstacles in her short little life, and I am sure they aren't done, but we need her in this family. She is just the tiniest thing, and everyone stands in line to hold her or kiss her. And she loves it!!

Anyway, just trying to start this blog back up. I pray that I will update it frequently so that I can record the many memories that come from a family of 10.
