We live in rural North Carolina.

My husband and I have nine children, with our tenth scheduled to appear in March. With a family this size, we certainly get some interesting questions from folks. I’ll try and answer some of those here, as well as give you a look inside at our daily lives.

I have one brother.  That’s it. My husband has two brothers. That’s it.

Neither of us started our marriage with the goal of having a large family. We had one son, and then a daughter. The “perfect” family, right?…But, I really wanted another. Once our third got a little older I thought we we should have one more, but hubby wasn’t on board…yet. It wasn’t too long before he too wanted one more baby.  After that well, the rest is history.
