...and people are amazed at our having (only) four.

Had things been different, I think we might well have gone for more.

But what boggles me is THEY ALL START WITH J!! TWO of our kids start with J (Josiah, Jonathan)... and we all mess them up all the time?

I've worried that the little one will grow up thinking his name is "Jo-Jonathan"!

Guess what! 1 1/2 years. That's the countdown to my quitting working and homeschooling our 3 boys. I've been worried about asking my husband about my quitting work, we have health insurance through my job, and the dual income is nice, but the pull to do what I think is the right thing finally pushed me to broach the subject. We are going to get our debt down, switch to his employers insurance, and a few other things, and then I am quitting my current job and starting the one I should have been doing the whole time: fulltime wife and mommy!

I think the cincher was when I told him he deserved more than convenience food (read: pre-packaged/pre-made/frozen) for dinner, and more of my time, instead of me being tired and cranky in the evenings. And that boys deserved more than 45 minutes in the a.m. and 2 hours at night of mommy.

I am very happy, excited, nervous. Any prayers would be appreciated many times over.
