08-06-15 They all make me smile

When I was growing up it was just me, my sister, and my parents. We were quiet introverts. That lifestyle did not prepare me well for marrying into a large, boisterous family... but I love it! All the kids, the motion, the noise is awesome. Of course it helps that each member of the family I would have quickly chosen as a friend anyways (and in many cases already had!) My kids have built in playmates and we have built in confidants. :)
