I've had four, in this order:
Hayley (10)
Aaron (passed away in 2001 at 20 months)
Austin (3)
Ryan (passed in 2005 away at 5 months)
Matthew (4) We adopted him in 2004
And I hear ya about that decorating stuff. I don't have a knack for it - yet everyone around me seems to be able to put it all together so easily. We are in desperate need of new towels - I have been looking for over a month and still can't find that perfect color! It seems like every time I buy something I take it back because it doesn't look right. And don't even get me started on the bedding I'm trying to get for our guest room. I hardly have anything on our walls, it's ridiculous! If I had the money, I'd hire a decorator to do it all for me!
