Go Ask Dad

I am going to start a regular feature on this blog called Go Ask Dad. This is a place where people can ask us any question within reason, and I will attempt to answer it. Many people often wonder how we do what we do, with eleven kids, homeschooling and most of them coming from different countries. If you are one of those, here is your chance to ask. We try to always remind others that it is all by God's grace, but still He has taught us things that might be helpful to you as you attempt one or more of the things we do. So if you have always wondered how a big family operates, or how you adopt a child from oversees, or how you homeschool kids who speak five different languages only one of which you speak, then go ahead and ask.

Financial questions:

How much is your weekly grocery bill?

Are you independently wealthy?

How big is your home?

Do you worry about money/providing?

Do you have good health insurance?

Respectively

Arwen's mama. I don't post pics of Ramona or I, because this blog is really not that much about us. However, the 2.0 version of the header graphic will have mom and dad. Sergei is down helping with Katrina damage, but he is going to modify it when he gets back. I am also going to try and modify the template so that I have a place to stick a pic at the top. Putting them in posts tends to send them out of sight after a couple of more posts. I'll try to include us and the puppies from time to time.

WC, I will answer your questions in a post on the front.

Here are some more:

How do you balance husband/wife time with individual time for each child?

And on a more serious note: how many gallons of milk do you go through in a week?
