Having four kids in China is considered a huge family.
However, in most of our ex-pat or foreigner circles we are about on par.
My sister has six kids and together this summer the ten kiddos have had a blast.
This weekend, starting yesterday, David and I have been watching their kiddos while they enjoy a weekend away for their anniversary.
We are maneuvering two fams' soccer practices, games, birthday parties, meals (!!) etc. and at over 24 hours in, things are going just fine.
The Big Family is loads of work, loads of fun. And Miss Heather is helping with the navigation of the two eldest boys' soccer practice and games, that is incredibly helpful.
I told Anna, the ten-year-old of the bunch: "I am in charge of keeping people alive, you are in charge of keeping the fish alive". So far, so good.
