So, here's the run down. I am mom to 6 kids. Yeah, you read that right, but it wasn't really all my idea. I have 4 actually birthed from me. Daughters are 36, 34, and 28 and my son is 30. All are married or have been married at one time or another with kids of their own. I am also mom to a step-son aged 22who is active duty Army and stationed in Germany. So I have been this close ~~ to being an empty-nester 2 times. 7 years ago my husband and I became custodial grandparents of (at that time) the youngest granddaughter. So I got to start all over with a 4 month old. Fun, huh?
All together, we have 11 grandchildren with a new one on the way by the end of this year. Hopefully, before then, we will finish the adoption process that will change us from 5 children and 12 grandchildren to 6 children and 11 grandchildren. And my granddaughter will become a sister instead of a niece and her cousins will be nieces and nephews....lol.. in fact her 16 yr old half sister will be her niece (no red-neck blood lines here...lol)
More later....
