At this very time my Uncle would soon pass away so it would be hard for us to share this great news with so much sorrow around us. But just as life has a way of doing, it kept going. Once the news was out, we had more comments like " another one?" or " you are joking, right?" Than anyone should have to hear. I will have to admit expecting again was a little bit of a shock to me but I will also say I love my children and I love being their mom! I also know that I was called to do this ( be a mom of 8). I have sat and thought about why would God call me? I feel so unequipped. Surely He could have called this one or that one but He chose to call me! I most definitely consider myself extremely blessed by Him!
Yes, I am sure a lot of folks think~ 8 kids?? But to me these are the best 8 kids ever and definitely the most precious blessings I will ever know!
I also wanted to post some pics of Ben since he made 4 mos yesterday and because of this special anniversary today :)
His new thing is to make raspberries! ( as you can see)

So cute. He looks so much like the twins! When my grandmother had 8 kids - from 1935 to 1953 (18 yr. span!), I suppose it was a common thing - I'll have to ask my mom if she ever heard that! Yes, you are blessed with a quiver!
Hey Rachel, I think I saw a Header on TheCutestBlogOnTheBlock for your background - a matching header. Check it out!
Even from this far away I can tell that you are doing a wonderful job raising your 8 children.. Wish we could have lived closer and been able to hang out.. I love reading about all the fun you Ronnie and the Children have.
Thanks Kristy for the tip!!
Shay, I wish so often that we lived closer. I am so glad that you have a blog now too that I can read and share in your family's life. I love reading yours too!
Rachel, I love your signature - so much more than mine! Oh, and I still can't figure out how to get the box from around mine!
