"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Yes, I meant to have four of them.

When people find out I have four children under 7, they are usually incredulous.  But one of the reasons I like having so many kids is because I was a loner at home.  My closest sibling is 10 years older than me, and all of my siblings grew up much more with each other than they did with me.  So, I love to see my own kids enjoying each other and loving each other and - of course - driving each other batty.

In the bathtub:


(In this picture, Baby S looks so much like E as baby that I hardly "see" it as him anyway.)

And loving on their brother:




He does look a little concerned in the midst of that squishy love-fest.

I was thinking baby S looked like E as well in the bathtub pictures.
