Cori and I live together but keep separate checking accounts. The money all goes to pay for the stuff we do together but there is security in having my own account...I know what goes in and I know what goes out.
Nick and Dylan will be 16 and 15 and Finn just turned 4 and there is no love greater than these brother have for their baby sister and if she could sleep next to them in bed, she would.
My dad is from a large family...he is 2nd oldest of 17. The youngest (my aunt) is 6 months younger than me. They are all close and frequently get together and take vacations etc....
Us cousins are close as well...even though I am 41 and the youngest was just born.
you can have super close families and distant families...I think it is all expectations
I never had a fun pregnancy experience until I had Finn and had Cori...who is so attentive and loving. IT was FUN (well...as fun as pregnancy can be)
I am a much better parent...more relaxed, more able to handle things, more fun....that I was with my boys when they were this age and I think it has to do with being an older mom...I learned a lot of valuable lessons during that stretch of time.
