Great job Bill

I was sitting in sacrament meeting today and was really missing Carrie.

It wasn’t because I had my hands full with 4 hungry girls trying to escape to home and I was feeling a little outnumbered ) … but simply church without her is never the same.  How wonderful the gospel is to focus and build the family. Sigh….

So before I get all mushy on ya I want to share a quick picture I came across tonight. It’s kind of funny because as I was in sacrament meeting and we were sitting behind the Laing family. It just so happens that they have 4 girls as well and then the next row up was the Robertson family who, you guessed it, has 4 girls as well. I think we are the only three families in the ward with 4 girls. So when I saw this picture I decided God was trying to tell me something about having so many great girls.  So enough with words, lets get to the good stuff… the picture.

I feel really blessed to have such a wonderful family. All girls might seem to be a little overwhelming to some but trust me when I say it’s heaven on earth! I’m not to sure what I did to get so lucky but I’m very grateful.

Carrie’s been in Las Vegas the last few days so I spent some great quality time with all 4 girls! You are the best and I love you all. See ya tomorrow Carrie!

So…

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.”
