Some trips are better than others, some have even been excellent with no problems whatsoever. To be honest, Beth and I want so badly to represent Christ well as a family in the stores together and make big families look good, welcome and desirable. Some days we get comments like"Wow, you guys do so well with four, I could never do that, how do you do it". Today, we got some looks that expressed, "I am so glad I do not have four kids" and, "there a reason I do not have children", these are not the looks we want and this is not how we want to portray Christ or big families.

If you got any pointers, feel free to share. Beth was in tears today. BTW, how big is your crew if you do not mind my askin'.
