Unexpected Blessings

We found out last October that we are expecting our 8th child this July.  On Christmas Eve we told our family.  While many people question our decision to have a large family, we know that each child is a gift from God.  Our house may be loud and crazy most days, but we can't imagine our life any other way.  We are looking forward to meeting our newest little one this summer.

Children are a heritage from the LORD,  offspring a reward from him.  Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.  Blessed is the man  whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame  when they contend with their opponents in court.
