22 Kids!!!!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to actually have 22 kids soon to be 23 --- in one house --- from only 3 families!!!  Well, I have never been that curious about it, but we did experience it last night.  Let's do the math for just a moment and see how smart some of you are.  If we have only 4 out of the 22, that must leave 18 more children and only 2 more families to compensate for the difference.  Ummmmm, I'll give you a hint: the Schmidt's and the Jensen's; OK I'll give you 2 hints.

All I can say is thank goodness for awesome parents who can handle a lot of kids and do a pretty amazing job at being patient in raising their little brood.  It makes me feel just a little bit selfish when I am around some of these great role models, and I think maybe I am not doing my "job" in the parent department.  Should I be having more children???  Well, no, this is not an announcement, but a huge shout out to all my friends who are raising all these children and teaching them good principles.  Kudos to all of you.  I sure do look up to you a lot and I pray I can become a little more like you.

You are an awesome mom, and you don't need 9+ kids to show that. However, if you do decide to add another, let us know and we will add another at the same time. :)
