Most people are really nice and seem genuinely intrigued by a small herd of little ones. I just laugh sometimes and think, "I wonder what they would say if The Lord gave us a few more?" :) I grew up in a family with three kids and that did seem pretty average. Maybe it's the closeness in ages that surprises people? In any case they are right to say, "you've got your hands full." ...of blessings!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739393852429076077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640697137378019551.post-68511976972085592752013-03-16T15:48:34.988-05:002013-03-16T15:48:34.988-05:00Ditto what Nathan said.

I think that American society has lost something over the last few generations, homes are getting larger and families are getting smaller. Don't feel bad, I've had a few comments, and we only have two- as far as strangers can tell (if they don't notice the third in my belly). I've gotten "Boy, you sure have your hands full"- really- two?!? Or, the other day a lady said "Well, bless your heart, you sure will be busy", when I mentioned a third was on the way. Really- Three?!? I don't know, when I was a kid it seemed most of my friends came from families of three or more, perhaps because I grew up in Texas. I do think that Texans are more used to "larger" families, I hope you feel at home here and pray that others will rejoice in your blessings the way we do. Love you guys. -Cathy dietschshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192784446925284060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640697137378019551.post-86783190673128189522013-03-14T10:05:34.209-05:002013-03-14T10:05:34.209-05:00Average or large, you guys are wonderful and we ar...Average or large, you guys are wonderful and we are glad to have you here.<br /><br />Dietschsdietschshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192784446925284060noreply@blogger.com
