Oh I'm so glad I found your blog through TT!
We are a large family too and love it!
We have 7 children and soon to be 8 - 6 came to us through Int'l adoption. God has built our family and it has been one amazing journey over the past three years!
Your post today is beautiful! I love seeing all of your children together enjoying one another and helping! That picture says more than anything to family and friends who can't imagine, don't understand and want to poke holes in what God has built.
Blessings to you!
In His grace,
