Seven

I've been watching John and Kate Plus 8 on TLC. TLC also runs shows on large families. I am currently watching one with family with 15 children. I admire those moms. I don't know how they do it! I struggle with my two. Of course, I'm doing it alone right now. I know it was easier when my husband was home. None the less, having 15 kids is amazing. I admire the strength of those families and the creativity of them. 
I've always wanted a larger family. Not 15, mind you, but 4-5 minimum. I would love to get a farm and raise animals and kids. Teach the kids to ride horses, love work, and since we're dreaming- I want an elephant. I would love to move at a slower pace than we do and to work the land. I know my hubby wants it too. To the extent of killing our own cows for meat and living soley off the land. Unfortunately, farming doesn't pay well and the land is expensive. I doubt it will happen, but you never know. Stranger things have happened. 

Anyway, I just feel blessed to have my two now and the possibility of having more. I love my family. 

    I love elephants too, who woulda thunk it?
