So excited to see more of this neat family!
Little does the world know what’s coming… Can’t WAIT for episode 1.
FUN!!!!
My blog would be called “All Girls but 5”. I have 5 boys including one set of identical twins. My husband and I talk often about blessing our home with more children, but to be honest, I worry. I am super excited to see a large family in action! This gives me hope that it is possible without completely losing my mind.
What a delight to hear of your family!! Congratulations! And I am so glad to hear that you are still considering more. I must admit, having 6 was the very hardest point for me. I will be happy FOREVER that we went on!! I used to say people should have whatever they want: 2, 0, 5 children. Since then, in all my joy, I’ve been knkown to exclaim: EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE 7!…then 8!… now 10!!! Hurray! Perhaps I really found my center through that most challenging time of all. Perhaps life’s just more fun with bigger children to help! We have relied a lot on “The Power of Positive Parenting” by Glenn Latham – I love this approach to being a family, it has helped us SO MUCH. And our church has made all the difference in giving us a support, tools, community and the inspiration we need to thrive. Love to you! CaMarie and Crew
p.s. The Wall Street Journal recently said we don’t have enough baby makers these days! Way to help our country thrive!!!
When is another video coming?! I cant wait to see more! What an awesome family!
We are so happy that everyone is so excited! We’re working hard on finishing the next video today, so hopefully tonight! 🙂
What fun to watch your videos! We just simply adore your whole family! So glad we know you. We’ll be checking in on this website to keep updated. Love you all! Joy and Gary
Thank you Dear Joy and Gary for your precious friendship and the fantastic influence you are in the lives of families everywhere!! We are so grateful you so naturally feel like a part of ours! Much Love, Mike, CaMarie and Crew
Dear CaMary,
I’ve discovered your website only today and I am impressed by your familiy…it’s so beautiful to read about you and how much you love each other! I would like to have many children too, but perhaps it’s too late to plan it … I’ll be soon 33 and I am not married 😉 I like very much the way you describe each member of your family because you underline every single quality of them and as a mother and a wife you live them free fo being what thy want to be. I find sometimes difficult to accept the defects of the people I love, and the differences between us… on the contrary you seem to be able to accept other people with their negative and postive sides..please tell me how you can do it..
Thank you very much
Dear Elisa, Thank you for joining our blog and for your comments -means a lot to me. I wish you many, many happy days ahead, whether married with children or nourishing others in a million other ways! I appreciate you noticing acceptance of the negative and the positive in others and loving them for who they are. I suspect you are already like that – it takes one to know one, right? But the thing I keep in mind to love my family better (unconditionally) is how imperfect I myself am!! So it is easy for me! LOL! My parents were also very good at supporting me and my siblings in what we loved and desired to do and I want so much to give that to my children also. THANK YOU FOR Celebrating Family, and strengthening families around you even as you hope for one of your own! (I have 2 friends that married later and still had 5 children! S’Wonderful!) I feel we all have many hopes and dreams but we find the most joy just taking full advantage of the opportunities of today and being grateful for the good that IS in our life each moment. Very Best Wishes to you Elisa! CaMarie
I just found you today and I thought it was fun to see your family, we have 5 all boys except for 4. Our son is praying for a baby brother, but maybe this is a glimpse into our future!
hahaha! Laurel, congratulations on your awesome family and PLEASE let me know if you have a girl or a boy!!! People always ask how my son handles it, being surrounded by sisters! He takes it like a man! 😉 Best Wishes for your whole family!!
