BIG

As the proud parents of 11 children, we read your stories of big families. The words describing the large family are all there-- sacrifice , pride , work , fun , responsibilities , give and take , unspoiled , organization , laughter , flexibility , respect , closeness , sharing and, above all, faith and love . The gallons of milk, rules, large grocery bills, chores, laundry, 6-year-olds changing diapers--all ring familiar.
