You Know You Have A Big Family When

You know you have a big family when:

  1. People ask if you are Catholic or Mormon
  2. Your insurance agent asks if the big van parked in front of the church is the church’s
  3. You can see people counting the number of kids you have in their minds
  4. You are asked if the bus your neighbor drives for the school district (big yellow one) is yours
  5. People comment on how you “have your hands full”
  6. People ask if you know the cause

Any suggestions you can help me with?  I would really like to add to my list.

In a previous post, I started a fun conversation concerning suggestions for our next vehicle.  Let’s see…this has been our 3rd vehicle in the past 4 years.  Who does that?  A growing family does, right?  Well, that has been the case with our family, at least.  I don’t know of many people who do it just for the fun of it.  Hey wife – let’s go get ourselves a new station wagon.

First, we outgrew the 2 door sports car.  I enjoyed our 5 speed Chevy Cavalier even if it wasn’t a Corvet.  Then we outgrew the minivan.  Just recently we outgrew the Suburban.  While we are in no way approaching the need for a bus – I do like our new family wagon.  Yes, I have officially gotten over the sporty feel of the Suburban and am now driving a 12 passenger Chevy Express.  We are now officially “one of those families.”

“As one of those families” I am blessed and honored to be the dad of 7 amazing children.  As I have often said and will say again, I am one blessed man!  Jesus has been very good to me and my family.

Kudos to big families!
