And baby makes seven!

Wow! Five kids, seven in our family. It sure seems like a lot. I look at this family picture and see a big family. I never really thought I would have a big family (I guess I never really thought about it much), but here I am with a big family. I wouldn't change a thing. I love it! Aubrey has been such a fun addition to our family. She is such a good baby, and she just belongs. All the kids just love her to death (a little too much sometimes). And everyone is so helpful (well, most of the time). Everyone keeps asking how it is to have 5 kids, and really it has been pretty good. I really think the adjustment to 3 or 4 kids was harder than 5 has been. I think maybe it's because my kids are older and pretty helpful. Plus they are in school most of the day. The fact that Wyatt is no longer the bishop and is home most nights to help is great. And Aubrey is such a good baby. I'm pretty a little more relaxed myself. Maybe the fact that we are in a bigger house and not on top of each other is helpful too. We love our big family, and are all doing great!

What a cute family! I think you are super mom though to be so relaxed with 5 kids. I think I am still adjusting to 2.
