By the time we got to our home on Thursday morning, there was pink everywhere – pink spray paint in our front yard, “It’s a Girl! The elders presented Bob with...

My seventh child just got his learner's permit - teaching a seventh child to drive - only one more after him to go - wow! 160; Wouldn't you trust this guy? Links to this post.
