    Yes they truly are the BIGGEST things, aren't they? I still can't believe mine are grown. Your children are truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

    As I looked through these pictures, I thought, these seem like big things to me. And then I read the quote at the end and smiled 🙂

    You have such a lovely family.

    Those are wonderful photos and your children are just as darling as ever, but I have to be honest and confess that I am seriously coveting all those rows of seats I see in your van! 😉

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
