Thanks for sharing what's going on in the "Raising Five" family right now. It's amazing to think that your kids are that old already. Wow! How did that happen so quickly. I now have a teen, 2 tweens, a 6yo, and a 3yo. Can't believe mine are this big. It is all flying by faster & faster each year. Your family life sounds very busy, but very fun and loving. Hope you have a great weekend!

Know you must be living a crazy, busy life and glad you check in once in awhile. Like the Bass Family said, you're just a bit before me in kid-ages and reading about your life is always a reminder to savor these days NOW!!
I am long-term substitute teaching at a high school right now and last week I was walking through the hallways at lunch and texted my husband. . .our oldest will be here in 3 years!!! Wow!!! How did we get here so quickly?!? You with a 17-yr-old. . .I could just cry thinking about it. . .but we have given them roots and are commanded to give them wings too, huh?

What a sweet picture of your family life right now. You are such an incredible mom (and sister) and your family is a beautiful reminder of the craziness, fun and wonder of growing up in a home where there is lots of love.

I got a little bit choked up thinking of how grown-up the kids have become. When did that happen??

Makes me feel wimpy when I whine about tough days with just my 2 kids here. =p 3 teens!! I'm sure you have lots of stories to tell. =) But really, sounds like tons of fun over there. If you ever miss have little ones around, I'll ship my two over to join in the sleepover fun!

Glad you are all doing well. I can't believe t...

Glad you are all doing well. I can't believe they're that old but I guess I've been reading your blog for over 3 years now.

Movies at midnight... silly of me to think the baby years were the no-sleep time. ;)

I always love reading your entries. Good to have an "update" from your home. Our four under six do keep the house busy, but I am understanding that the house will stay active as they grow. Trying to remind myself to love where we are now...I tear up thinking about them growing up & paving their own paths. What a blessing to be a mama!

So good to hear from you Katherine! Enjoy that wild ride. I was just thinking back to your 3x5 cards and thinking I need to implement something along those lines for our brood. I am so thankful for the wisdom and perspective you've shared! Thank you!

I feel like I just got a glimpse into my future, and it makes me thankful for my "right now"! It sounds like your family is doing well, and enjoying the crazy busy life. But thanks for reminding me that it goes fast, and I really should enjoy the craziness of the toddler years... all too soon it will be the craziness of the teenage years!
