I have 9 kids ( yours mine ours and then some) My husband had kids, I had kids, we married added a couple more, then adopted one more. Lost our last one in 2007 so now I am just trying to stay sane,but I keep chugging along. Knitting helps. I have 8 grands, 5 boys 3 girls, 1 of ea from my bio child. This gives me plenty to knit for.lol.
