I'm Back

:grphug: Hey all. I haven’t posted in a few years, but decided it was time to come back. I had my 7th baby this past August (a boy!!), so that makes 2 boys and 5 girls.

I’ve mostly been knitting purses and short sleeve, knit top down in one piece sweaters :slight_smile:
I look forward to getting to know you all again :slight_smile: :cheering:

My gosh, looking at my siggy, it’s been 4 years or so since I’ve been here posting. Matt is 11, Angelina is 10, Anna is 9, Allie is 8, Alaina is 7 and Krista is 4 (and Mark is 7mos) LOL

How do you hold it together with seven children?! I have a nearly 6 week old and a 7 year old step son and sometimes I wonder to myself “what the h#ll have I gotten myself into?!” :smiley:

That is exactly why I knit Hehe :slight_smile: It’s hard a lot of the time, but now that they are older, it’s alot easier.

So…it gets easier? Yay!

Oh yeah. Once they can buckle and unbuckle themselves from the carseat, it was smooth sailing for us :woot: :woohoo:

I also found that once a kid could talk it made life easier because they can tell you what they want! Welcome back!

Congrats on the baby and on your return. Aren’t big families great?! :thumbsup:
We had 6 (4 still at home) and I wouldn’t have done it any different. Our middle daughter, the one who always wanted to be an only child, has announced that since[I] she [/I]is now a mother she loves it and wants 7 or 8.

NoobKnitter - omgosh your bug freaked me out LOL :rofl:

It’s always harder with a newborn! I have 9 myself, and you eventually get into something of a rhythm that works for your family. :slight_smile:
