For as long as I can remember I have wanted a large family. I am not sure if its because my mother asked us for 5 grandchildren each or because she wanted to have six children or because I enjoy having my sisters and brother.

This weekend I had my three nephews. I was an enjoyable experience. However, after a few days I was so tired and ready to return to sender. I had a total of 6 children ages 12, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 4 months. It gave me a whole new appreciation for being the mother of three and I see why parents of multiples have issues. It is stressful. Boys and girls are so different and putting them all together was trouble. I notice how they tend to stick with their sibling but if anyone from outside the immediate family try to step in they pull together quickly.

I only wish that they could all grow up closer together because nothing makes a memory better than family.
