Lyman Universe

Ever had one of those days that seem very tough! We all do and of course when I saw this article about a family with 8 children (twins and sextuplets) I thought wow! Now that is amazing. It’s a great read and also has some great insights into raising lots of kids on a tight budget for those of us feeling the pocket book squeeze.

Here’s the intro paragraph:

“In an alternate universe, Jon and Kate Plus Eight’s Kate Gosselin could have been the mom we all love to hate: children with coordinated outfits, a spotless home, every detail of her life meticulously planned and executed. However, in this universe, Kate Gosselin gave birth to twins, followed four years later by sextuplets — and with her type-A personality subverted by the constant chaos of eight children, she’s become one of reality televison’s most sympathetic characters.”

Family and Friends,

This year has been a wonderful year. We have truly enjoyed life with our family and friends. I’ll give you a quick recap of the year, our kids and what the Lyman family has accomplished this year. Pictures are included at the end of the newsletter.

Last year we moved to Woods Cross, Utah and have settled nicely into the new schools, ward and neighborhood. I (mike) started a job with Two Little Hands Productions (Home of Signing Time) and am really enjoying working with them as their technology and marketing director. Carrie is a stay at home mom but has picked up numerous side projects along the way this year. (more…)
