Living Large

Yes, they're all ours.
Yes, they all have the same father.
Yes, we have a TV.
Yes, we know what's making them.
No, we're not "relieved" to "finally" get a boy (we were never "trying for a boy").
No, we're not "done" now we "finally" have a boy.

We're not religious, we have simply always liked the idea of a large family. Sazz grew up in homes fragmented by divorce, Ealesy is the son of first generation Australians, these childhood experiences made a large family appeal. The children often ask about "the next baby", so they're apparently not "done" either.

Large families are fun. The larger families we've met are some of the most close-knit families we know. Each child brings so much love and joy, as well as new perspectives, and new challenges into our world. Each child takes our learning journey down many different paths we could not have otherwise imagined. How could we stop wanting to enrich our lives like that?
