I’ve been asked if any of the rotating pictures on the sidebar are of me.  No, they aren’t – I asked my web designer to make the blog page different from the rest of the site so I could post my picture there and it would be clear it was a personal blog, but it wasn’t possible.  I know that probably creates a feeling of confusion for people visiting the first time. 

We have a family picture that’s always been posted in the ‘about us’ page, that I last week became aware isn’t showing up for some technical reason.  I guess it’s just as well because we need to update it – it was taken almost two years ago and the newest baby isn’t in it.  That’s embarrassing, since he’s eleven months old already!  You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find a time that everyone is home and someone who’s not a family member is available to take even a casual picture for us, let alone getting us all to a portrait studio.  That’s why it takes so long to get updated photos with all of us in them. Anyway, now that I know it’s down, it will push me to take a new family picture and get it up soon!

For those of you here the first time, we’re a family of 10, eight children ages: 11 months (boy), 28 months (boy), 6 (boy), 7.5 (girl), 9 (boy), almost 12 (girl), 13.5 (girl), and 15 (boy).  We’ve been married very happily for 16 years, and are entering our ninth year of homeschooling.  Feel free to ask questions if there’s something you’re wondering about and don’t see the answer to. 🙂
