Life with a wide age range

My kids are 15, 9, 5, 4 and 5 months...which is a wide range of growing up happening all at once.

The 15 year old is facing who she is and discovering her future life at full speed. She does things like kiss boys, practicing driving, play on Myspace and worry about her appearance.

The nine year old is stubborn and learning the hard way how to grow into a man. We took him to the second largest observatory on Friday and watched him dazzle everyone with his knowledge thirst.

The five year is five going on thirty: last night, when we hugged, he told me "I like boobs." I said: "Good, you will make a fine man then. Now, go to sleep."

















The four year old is so funny, smart and adventurous. She want to learn her numbers by sight and to be a ballerina. She isn't sure which one of those she wants most.


And the baby is already an overachiever. He sits unassisted, rolls around and talks all the time. Of course we don't know what he is saying but he Thinks we do. He'll be going to college soon.
















It is a strange life I am living.

  1. You're living a full life as well as strange... I'm so happy for you!

    Just a few months ago you were writing in your blog how you thought this dream life would never come to fruition... an now look!!! again I'm so happy for you!

    No woman should ever be told you cannot be a mother, if they so desperately want to be a mother and they can LOVE and take care of a child.

    I knew you could over come all things with God on your side... I knew you could trust and have faith in him!!!
