One day, there was a mom who didn't know where they were going. This didn't seem to bother the son, since he had been given a rare car snack. And the daughter tended to not worry about anything anyway. And the baby just wanted milk in her belly at all times, no matter...

Last weekend, we sneaked up to Michigan and helped throw a surprise party for my littlest sib, the servant-hearted Hoopie. It was all Anna and Abby's idea. When you're the youngest of ten kids, you're lucky to get a special dinner, let alone a whole day...

Corban learned Sorry! with his aunts. His pieces somehow always ended up in his home waaaay before the other players' pieces. He loved it.  Grammie-Jaeda time. It had to be forced, but then the cuddles really began. Mi amor y yo. So many games were opened and learned and played. Hours and...

Our big Christmas meal is on Christmas Eve. We love it that way, because we make it so big that we can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Christmas. No cooking, just present-opening, present-playing, and overall lounging around. The.best. With 18-20 present-openers (girlfriends were in and...

This is my beautiful family. It just keeps growing and growing! My gorgeous, grown siblings (minus one who's growing/grown?? in heaven). Ages 11-29. One daughter joined with a son-in-law and brought two (almost three!) new additions to the family. Did I just say three?! Yikes! Then one son joined with one daughter-in-law and brought one (for...
