Summary
The inside scoop on our first generation large family of nine children. We are currently in every season at once with littles, middles, teenagers, young adults, and launched children raising families. So, yes grandparents too! Navigating finances, vehicles, food prep and the hefty bills, almost dying in pregnancy and having more, to family dynamics that most don’t realize are possible. We hope this gives a raw reality that encourages others. God has a unique design for every family and while we don’t expect everyone to look like ours, having a large family has surpassed our greatest expectations. If you want to be a fly on the wall inside the Tolpin home, this is the episode!
