The other day Ben and Max tried to talk me into having another baby. When I explained that babies cost a lot of money - they both offered to help me pay for a baby.
When I talked about how much time and energy a baby requires, both Ben and Max offered to help with the baby. Ben even said he'd change diapers :).
Finally when I told Ben he'd have to share a room he relented. "I guess we don't need a baby," he said. Max didn't give up that easily - he pestered me all afternoon about it.
Although Ben is an awesome big brother (and an awesome cousin) and Max is becoming more tolerant of Evan...no way could I have another baby. Emotionally and mentally there is no way I could handle another child right now. But on top of that, I have prayed extensively about this issue - and I feel good about the size of our family.
Watching the boys with Ruby at the cabin, almost made me change my mind.
Almost.*on a side note: the other day I was looking on Facebook at pictures of my newest nephew (he lives far away in Scotland). Evan was sitting on my lap and exclaimed, "Oh! Can we buy that?" I guess he wants a baby too.

Ahh man. I thought you were going to say you decided to have another one. You make such cute ones!!! Maybe in another year or so. . . :)
That is such a cute story. Jack doesn't ask for a baby, but he does ask for other kids to live with us...maybe adoption is in our future.
Remember Sheri - if you have another one, it will be a boy (not a Ruby). Sorry.
Bet you'd have one if you were guaranteed a Ruby!!
Maybe you should have another one. Ruby, Molly, and baby girl Trezise could be such good freinds.
