Brian, oh what a hoot and a hollar. It must be the best time of your life having all those kids around!!! You are a lucky man, but at the same time, I bet that the house is a place where you need to escape from, lots, hee, hee. I know that when my both my Daughters are here,their spouses, my two Grandsons, all blinking blazes breaks loose!!! I am only glad that this occurrence occurs now and then. I am a person of quietude, a lot of noise and confusion, loud people talking makes me very stressy, (oops, did I say that!!!). And when my Husband and two Son-in-Laws get together, those enormous man voices drives me nuts!!! They are all loud to begin with and when you get all three trying to get their points across, eeks, eeks, and more eeks. Summertime I can deal with it 100% OK, the louder the better, but wintertime in my house, holy smokin' smokers!!! I envy you with so many Grandchildren, I wish that I had more. I won't have any more, my oldest gal cannot have children and my youngest is done (well I hope so anyways, I don't think I really could stand a baby around here, and I really mean that, hee, hee). My next thing is going to be Great Grandchildren. My oldest Grandson is 13 and one half, he could in all reality have children in say, 4-5 years (I hope not, give him some time to grow up a little more). But then, when one meets the love of their life, ya never know. Brian, enjoy those kids, even though they think that you dress like an old farmer and smell like a Billy Goat, hee, hee, don't sweat that small stuff, hee, hee. Have the best of this obviously extremely busy and wonderful day. Say hi to all your Grandchildren for me, and tell them all that I think that they are lucky little people to have such a great Grandpa such as you, living on that little farm that they all do, they are lucky little souls.
