Once the kids grow up and start leaving home, suddenly it becomes not a matter of finding time alone and for yourself as a parent, but in taking joy at having them all together and sadness when they are apart. With 6 kids, having everyone home at once is a real feat! While I’m living stage 1 with 5 small children, I see in these kids, as I’ve watched them grow up over the years, that very soon it’ll be me wondering where all my babies went! And what a beautiful family they are!
