Yes the oldest four are: DD (32) married -two children and expecting a third in September; DS (26), DS (24) and DS (23) -all three have finished college -DS (26) and DS (24) are working full time and are getting an apartment together in June, DS (23) is just finishing his first year of law school.
There was a twelve year space between my 4th and 5th. I had cancer and chemo and was told I couldn't get pregnant -SUPRISE!!!! We didn't want dd (11) to feel like an only child so we started all over again. Since I was almost 40 we had to really hurry up!
I wouldn't trade any of them for the world -you beat me though -9. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
Last year we did a huge grand gathering. We took all the kids, grandchildren, and my mom (who was celebrating her 80th birthday) to Disney (BC) for a week. It was the best money we ever spent. We gave them an all expense paid trip for Christmas. We probably won't be able to do that again for a very long time but we sure made a lot of memories.
Wow that must have been a really special trip. Our oldest is 20 and our youngest is going to be one next Friday. Our two oldest are in university, which is the one reason we are braving Disney in July, so that we can all go together.
I love having a large family too. Of course there are ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade it for the world either
As far as the skirt goes, I don't need it but feel more comfortable walking around in it.






JK We normally swim every other day of our vacation so I bring one tankini for everyday that we swim. I love JAG & Nautica tankinis.
There are all shapes and sizes but there is no size in the universe for a speedo.
