Thanks for being such an inspiration and being part of showing the world that a large family is fun,and that it can be done, with joy and happiness as well.I remember my dad always yelling at us,usually over minor things,and we were only a family of 2 children.I think about how much he needed to see a wonderful,large, happy family as an example,and so on that note,I think you are a part of showing the world that it can be accomplished.

Thank you! I am a new mom of a 10 month old. I doubt we will have more than two, but you have inspired me. I have been moping around about being tired and disorganized. Wendy you have encouraged me to be a better wife and mom.

I think your family is setting such a wonderful example for the world. I too come from a large family(9) and I’ve had to dispell many myths to many people. We ate better than most smaller families and on a less budget. When families cook their own meals and learn self-sufficiency, everything tastes better! We were also more eco-friendly than most families because, out of necessity, we recycled, reused and reduced many things our modern decandent society feels that it can’t live without. And the same comment on our report card was always: They are so quiet and polite. How do you like them apples!
