I grew up in a big family. I have three sisters and two brothers. Almost everywhere we went people stared at us or made comments about how HUGE our family was. I never really thought we had a huge family. It was normal to me and I loved it.
Growing up my sister Ruth and my brother Matthew were my best friends. Ruth is four years older than me and Matt is two and a half years older than me. We did everything together. We were pretty much inseparable.
I want the same thing for my children. I want a big family and I want my children to be each others best friends. I can already see this happening with Ruy and Liam and it makes me so happy. I love watching them play. I love hearing Ruy teach Liam new things. I love seeing the love in Liam's eyes when he looks at Ruy. I love hearing Liam call Ruy "Bubby". I love that Liam wants to do everything Ruy does and I love that Ruy is trying so hard to be such a good example to him. I love that they love each other.
