    I just found your beautiful blog! I read about your family and was laughing at the similarities. You have the same birthday as me, although you are two years older. You have a little sister named Jana, and my mom's name is Jana.
    We are also a homeschooling family! I have six siblings. The oldest is 29 and the youngest is 8. My oldest nephew is two months older than my youngest brother. My 10th niece or nephew is on the way, too! Aren't large families the best?
    Have a wonderful afternoon!

      Thanks for commenting, Christine!
      The same birthday as me?? Wow, I've never found anyone who shares my birthday before! That's so cool! :) :)
      We do have a few similarities, don't we?! I'll really have to check out your blog. Wow, you are so blessed to have so many nieces and nephews! I'm looking forward to when I'm an aunty, but because I'm one of the oldest children in our family the chances are I'll be giving nieces and nephews to my family before I get any myself!! lol :) Large families are amazing.

    Hi Bonnie,

    I know this is probably a funny question, but what's your mom's name? I remember from the 2014 family newsletter it started with "G", but I can't remember the end. :) Mom was wondering, so I thought I'd ask. :)

    Have a great day!

    Dear Bonnie...what precious pictures of your beautiful family! Such a joy to get to know you a little through this post! I too have a large(r) family... I am the oldest of seven - six girls and one little boy (also Caleb like your brother!) who was born in April! He is the delight of our lives...
    I am nineteen years old and live in South Africa on a farm... As I mentioned in my comment earlier, we also have a milk cow and love living out in the countryside! A true blessing... {{Smiles}}
    I am so excited about reading more about you....and I am sure you must be so excited about your baby brother/sister coming soon! There is nothing as special as having a baby in the house! Ah...
    With love and blessings in Christ Jesus!

      Thank you for your sweet words, Kelly-Anne! Thanks for sharing a little about your family. Wow, South Africa! I have a few friends who come from there.
      Wahoo for milk cows!!!
      Sorry for not replying to any of your comments earlier! I have been on camp and only returned late last night.
      Have a splendid day!

    Dear Bonnie...I wondered if you'd be willing to have me copy your idea for a Meet My Family post?? As I have begun writing a new blog, I thought it would be lovely to do something similar to what you've done, if you don't mind, that is...
    By the way...just reading about your family has blessed and inspired mine! Truly, I just had to show my parents your family picture and they were so blessed! Thank you for sharing your life with others...
    Hugs,
    Kelly-Anne

      Of course!!! Go for it!!! What is the address of your blog? I'd love to look at it.
      I'm so honoured that you were blessed and inspired through my family. I reckon I have a pretty awesome family even if I do say so myself.... :P
