Neat Catholic Family Story

Very neat story about a Catholic family and neat that the Washington Post kept the evidence in the story of the family's ever present faith! Wow, and to think, no multiple births! Really must be God's plan that this was even physically possible for them!

How a D.C. area family with 11 children, ages 12 through 1, makes it work - The Washington Post

First Day of School 8-18-11

What a great day! I can't believe how much older the kids seem even after the first day. I think especially Leah - WOW - in preschool. So hard to believe. She just looks older to me now. She really enjoyed her first day (even though it was only for one hour). Jacob did great going to his first day of kindergarten. He's very familiar with the room as Leyton & Nathaniel were in the same room for kindergarten, with the same teacher; and Leyton was also there for 1st grade with Mrs. Hensler again. Nathaniel even showed him around a bit, "You can hang your backpack over there, where ever you want." Jacob sure is growing up, too. He said he had a lot of fun and would be going back tomorrow. And then my big boys...second grade, really? It is so hard to believe?! I'm like a broken record, but how can they seem to change just so quickly? I'm very proud of all of them and look forward to a great year. My little Anne was a champ today following everyone around and tagging along with the drop offs & pickups. What a great little gal. Good thing I have more time at home with her! My oh my...
