in life when we experience things which confirm to us why our lives are exactly the way they are.
We had the privilege of caring for our Great Nieces, Emma & Anne Marie, last week. Their addition to our family gave us children from age 12 to 1 in this order: 12, 9, 4, 3, & 1. Can I say that I am very happy this was our experience for only a short amount of time and not reality? I have discovered that I am a great Mother to our three, but when I was spread thin to five - it was all business. The girls were lovely! It was fun to get them all ready and go out. We always attracted a lot of attention - albeit, there were times when I didn't want said attention.
Lily (a.k.a. Miss Spoiled-Possessive Pants) wasn't happy to share Momma, but she survived.

Anne Marie seemed to have a nice time!
It was fun to have so many children. I am so glad for that opportunity - if not for any other reason than to truly enjoy our little family & feel content to remain a family of five ... not SEVEN! I'm sure Tracy feels the same!
