More Babies?

On our way home from ballet yesterday Nature Girl asked "Mommy, our we going to have more babies?" She asks this pretty frequently. She would like to have 9 other brothers and sisters. Where she gets that number from is beyond me. We have a friend who has 10 kids in their family maybe that is it. Who knows. We have told her that we probably are not going to have any more children in our family. I do believe that God intends for us to let Him decide how many children are in our family. I have envisioned myself in Heaven saying "I know God. I limited Your blessings but I gotta tell ya, I am not sure I could have handled anymore." "Yes, I know perfectly well it was a lack of faith in You." But, most of it right now is obedience to my husband. God has put him in charge of our family and he would rather our family not get any bigger. He loves the children he has right now and does not desire to have anymore. Most days I am in agreement with him. But, there are days that I desire more. If hubby was on board, I would definately have more. It is a constant struggle as I try to obey God . . .

It wouldn't surprise me at all if you had another baby :)

Daniel always shows me the (very small) space in the backseat of the mini-van between his booster seat and Leah's carseat.... room for one more, he says.

But my Dear Annie, most school teachers retire at 55, and another baby would mean you would have to postpone retirement!

I know, Boop would like a baby brother.

Aaahhh retirement. An elusive thought!
