Us? Really?
I am always shocked when people consider us a big family. That is even before they know that we are adopting another child.
Since when did three children become a huge family? I don’t fell like we are big, just because we don’t fit into the two-children model doesn’t mean we are big.
Sure we cannot fit our entire family into our Mini Cooper, but isn’t that part of its charm. I think it is great to have a fun vehicle that only Bill and I really fit into.
