People ask me all the time what it is like in a bigger then normal sized family. So lets start off by meeting our family. My name is Shelly and Eric and I have been married for 15 years now. We started dating the summer before my junior year in high school and got married 3 yrs later. No we didnt plan a big family at all. We had both orginally only wanted 3 children but as you may have learned already life had its own plan and we are so happy that it did. Let's now meet the kids.
Rachel is 14 and loves to draw she is really good at it she also loves to create things. Danielle is 13 and she is the family reader. Eric Jr (Bub) is 11 he is our dare devil. Allison is 7 she she is very talkative and likes to sing. Ryan and Mackenzie are boy/girl twins and they are 5. Ryan is a typical boy and Mackenzie loves to do her hair and like to stand on her head. Lindsay is 3 and she thinks she is a teenager. David is 2 and he adores garbage trucks. he calls them "truckies". and Natalie the youngest for now just turned 1 and she is always on the go.
Yes I said the youngest for now which brings me to the next asked question. Are we going to have anymore. The answer to that is we hope so. We are not going to hide our feelings about children anymore just to make friends and some family happy. We love children and we want more you may not agree with me and thats fine but this is our lives and this is what we want out of it. We have had many discussions over the years and in the end to us the only thing that matters is our family. Not the fancy house, not the cars clothes etc. But our family. Some days are good and others bad but when it comes down to it I wouldn't trade our family for anything in the world.
