a big (little) family: Copyingbird.

Primarily written by Adrienne, a homeschooling mother of seven, ages 10 and under. She chronicles life, laughs, struggles, and lessons learned as she raises a larger-than-most sized family and tries to figure out what she's doing day by day.

With occasional posts, Alexandra, Adrienne's older sister, writes of her ranch life in Nevada and raising four sons, ages 5 and under. Life is never dull and her boys have given her some pretty awesome stories to tell.

Stick around awhile, and you're sure to laugh, nod, smile, be encouraged, and see what life is like with a big (little) family.

Copyingbird.

During a discussion regarding the mockingbirds that are taking up residence in our trees lately, Blaine told Sterling that they copy whatever they hear. He demonstrated with a whistle, and he and the mockingbird had quite the interlude.

Sterling, however, was confused.

“But how can they copy it? Do they have copy machines?”

My kids are rather technologically illiterate compared to most these days. I thought.

That was funny.
