The Crosgrove Crisis Center is made up of two parents that are absolutely in love with each other and their thirteen children. The little people are all ours. I gave birth to every one of them (like that matters) and there are no twins.
There are only eleven children pictured above for a really good reason......a picture with all thirteen children has never been taken.
Miss Nichole and Sir Spencer both became missionaries on the same day in 2013. They left home four months before Miss Isabella was born and consequently haven't met her yet. Hermana Nichole will return August 2014 and Elder Spencer February 2015. There will be one whopper of a party, lots of hugs and kisses, a tear or two, and most certainly an updated photo taken when I finally get all of them together for the first time.
Many of the more entertaining stories of the CCC seem to emanate from the five littlest boys, who were all born in a six year period of time. Sir Harley is usually the star of the show and is almost always lacking something in the clothing department. Try not to judge.
Life in our home is not always easy, but it is always interesting. You probably won't spy us on the cover of a magazine for our great sense of style, but you will hear us singing if you come by at bedtime. You will find us learning together, laughing together, and even sometimes finding ways to respectfully disagree with each other. (Stated like that, even bickering sounds interesting!)
We homeschool, eat gluten-free, and like to rock climb. We love our little town (the population sign was significantly changed when we moved in) and we feel blessed to live in our wonderful country.
Our family motto is, Sine Deo Quid? It means without God what?
