We aren't Catholic, nor did we set out to have 7, rather as Joe tells it, the last time we discussed it was about having #3! Five are now married with 8 babies between them, one is a college Sr. and one a high school Senior. Three of the married familys came by last night to celebrate the baby's 18th birthday. What a joy to listen to their conversations, teasing and laughter. They somehow got to talking about about how during the school year we had teams at night, one was the dishwashing team, (no dishwasher for us, we had 7!) the other was the lunch making team. Particularly with the lunches, they knew they needed to make a decent one for a sibling as the next night theirs would be made by that person. Effort was taken to be careful as no one wanted the next day to be in school, open the brown bag and find in their lunch -paybacks in the form of a mushy bananna, stale bread and no snack.
