I just read that Anna Duggar is expecting!  I'm so happy for them.  I love watching the Duggars.  I just read thier book too.  I went googling for more info.  What a mistake!  The horrible, terrible things posted about them makes me sad.  They don't owe anything to anyone, they homeschool so the gov. doesn't even pay to school them.  They are good people who love the Lord and it saddens me the way people attack them.  My favorite quote is "The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture." By Doug Phillips.  Tonight, I went out for a mom's night with my best friend.  There was 6 other mom's.  All 1 child only, babies under a year. Everyone's jaw dropped that I had 4 children.   I have 4 WONDERFUL kids, not monkeys or puppies.   Most were teacher's complaining of how horrible schools are.  So I got asked if I'd have more, is HSing is hard.  Basically being made out as  a saint.  It's awesome I can do it.  They don't even think they could handle two, much less homeschool, yada, yada, ya.  On line, I see so many large families.  I often say, "I only have 4 kids".  Even in NY, where I was 4 kids was pretty standard and most families HS.  I wish people could accept large families, rather actual or by today's standards.  But, to lighten the mood a little, I'll try to link my favorite large family video.
