It's a result of your intentional parenting. I was the oldest of a very unhappy bunch of 5 siblings who fought like crazy, so it's not inevitable that large families get on so well! Well done, Mum!

But the laughter and the love that only the siblings can share completely overwhelm the guilt. (sometimes!) What a blessing to be able to just sit, watch, and listen to your children enjoying each other. I love the last photo. What a memory for all of you. :) I feel the same guilt sometimes.

One of my favorite times of the school day is just before the bell rings when the kids are all arriving. Sometimes as I trudge to my classroom hefting all sorts of books, boxes, bags and my purse, I spy an older sibling gently rearranging clothing or tying a shoe here and there while they walk a little brother or sister to class. It is in these unguarded moments that they are learning to be loving people and practicing to be moms and dads. That last photo takes my breath away.

Our kids are all so far apart that they really don't "play" much together, but it's still nice having a large family. I know 4 really isn't THAT large, but most people think our 4 is large these days (LOL)! Cute pics!
