We had a great weekend in Chicago this weekend, visiting Hillsdale friends. It was great to spend time with two other families who strongly believe, like we do, that large families are a blessing. We had many stimulating conversations, covering topics like "How should children play with dolls and what kinds?", "Is is possible to homeschool and not wear denim jumpers your whole life?", "At what age should children be responsible for chores?", and "How necessary is a college education?"
Highlights included: feeding children, staying up way too late playing games, navagating Chicago traffic, trying not to fall asleep in church (I failed miserably), and coralling 9 children, Carver the oldest, though Navy Pier on a Saturday morning. Not an activity for the faint of heart!

Emily's blog! I really appreciate her willingness to host all of us and feed us all for 2 days!
