Bluebird, it's so refreshing to *see* someone so excited about spending time with family. I'm tickled for you.

How many siblings do you have?

Also, I thought of you on Sunday. I was at the mall and there was this beautiful woman in line next to me with all these kids surrounding her. I smiled and asked how many children she had. I knew some of them had to be friends tagging along because they were so close in age.

They all belonged to her. She has SIX children. All boys! The oldest was 12, youngest in her arms, another in a stroller, and the list goes on.

She was chatting with her children the whole time. One was hugging her leg. Another sucking his thumb. It was a precious site. I thought of you.

How old are your children?
