Mikes and I have had many talks about how many children we want. One of my main reasons for wanting another one (can you believe I still want another one after the horrible recovery??) is to give S a sibling. I love having so many siblings. I have a different relationship with each one. With boo-boo coming home from Argentina next week, I'm reminded of how those relationships evolve over the years. When Mikes and I first met, boo-boo was only 10 years old. I would come home from college every once in awhile to babysit him (and Farina, Emma & Hanna) for my parents over the weekend. Now, he's 21! As we've all gotten older, a lot of my siblings have turned into really good friends.
I know not everyone gets along with their siblings... in fact, I have had my fair share of being mean to a sister/brother, as well as being hurt in return, but overall, I'm really glad to have them! Everyone in my family calls my mom at least once a week to chat. My new goal is to call my siblings (and dad) more often to chat. So if you're related to me and reading this, heads up!

I have to say, having no siblings, I would kill to have just one. I can tell you about 100 reasons why but I'll spare you since you know most of them. And you do have really nice siblings!
Amen, sister! That was such a huge factor in trying to get pregnant! I just felt desperate to give Robby a sibling! Even if they'll be 5 years apart... Taba and I are 8 years apart but super close now that we're older!!! Yes, I think S will definitely need a sibling!
YAY! I completely agree!!! :P DO IT. I'm sure there's a few lil guys up there just dying to come down to the T family, S would surely agree!
ps: i absolutely LOVE that pic. hah
