This is the comment I get alot. I just got it again yesterday. They ask, "What did you have, a boy or girl?". I answer, "A boy". And they smile "Oh isn't that wonderful, a million dollar family, one of each, now you can stop". Yes, they are wonderful but what if I had had a girl, would she not have been as wonderful? Would my family not yet be complete? I love my boy and my girl. They are absolutely the most wonderful beings in my life but I would have felt the same about another girl, or two boys. I have to bite my tongue every time because I want to yell this at them, so instead I smile, "Yes, a million dollar family".
It doesn't matter, I am blessed and rich in more ways than just gender.
Here are a few million dollar smiles.

Agreed. With my three sons I felt as if I had my 'million dollar family'! O, what cute kiddies you have :) Please give baby 'Tree Hugger' and his big sis a hug and kiss from me!
Your kids are so cute!
Oh you guys are so beautiful! Talk about million dollar.... how about billions of dollars :)
I miss you!
Beautiful pictures, Laura! I'm glad things are going well with the CSA as well. Enjoy the new working/thinking time on your own. Hopefully it will help you to enjoy the time spent with your family even more!
I love the pictures of your children - they really are beautiful! And I love reading about your joys and struggles with the CSA. I'm sure we'll have lots of stories to exchange whenever we get together next. - Julie
I totally understand what you mean about the million dollar family. I wanted to scream every time people told me that. I guess now I have the multi million dollar family??
