"At the heart of large families is the surrender to God’s supreme rights over our lives and an embrace and love of His gift of children," she said. "Unfortunately, this is a foreign and/or unknown concept that has been gradually lost over the last 50 years."

"It requires ‘blind trust’ in God in times of difficulty," Giroux said. "This is a difficult concept for a contracepting society where those today seek to control everything from the day they conceive to sometimes the very sex of their baby."

Mom looks happy. Dad looks bewildered.

A beautiful family!

May God bless and prosper them!

Dont take any money from the state and you can pump them out by the truckload for all I care.

I bet they’ll be getting hate mail and email from the anti-life/anti-child Leftists in short order. I’m sure they receive mean looks and probably get a few nasty verbal attacks when they are out in public from them, also.

Funny, our family grew up in Rockville and I was one of the 9 children. Seven of them born in a 10 year span. My mom never even had a driver’s license. All of us are still in touch and we’re all doing pretty good.

I would be pleased to see this all across America. Someone needs to keep the population growing.

If it makes the left cringe, it must be good for America.

Lovely

Oh yeah, especially in the career-at-all-costs world of the D.C. area.

“The article introduces readers to Larry, a high school teacher, and his wife Jen, a stay-at-home mom,”

Only gov’t workers can afford to have large families now.

Hmmm...when my wife gives birth to our third child in a few months, we’ll have three kids under the age of 4, but I cannot imagine 11 kids all under the age of 12.

I was oldest of 9 at age 15.
It’s not that big a deal......

hahaha I was thinking the exact same thing. He has a bit of the “what have I done” look.

By the shear number of boys they have, he probably is tired from patching holes in the walls and repairing things all day.

My mom was #9 of 11 kids. Before my grandfather died I asked him, "Papa, why did you have so many kids?".

He said, "well, we lived on a farm close to railroad tracks and every morning a train would pass at 4:30. It was too early for breakfast and too late to go back to sleep."

I'm guessing the kids are probably in the Free/Reduced lunch program at their school(s).

The father in that picture looks like he’s just written his suicide note. Just sayin’

[Second Amendment First]

When I was a kid there was a local family with thirteen children. Their last name was Baker, so we called them .... the Baker’s dozen.

Made me LOL - my dad was one of 10 children born across about 20 years but I never got to ask his dad a similar question as he died when my dad was 5 years old.
