Blessed with Six

I have told my children, "you learn something new everyday, no matter what" It could be a new song, a useless piece of information, some trivia answer or a life lesson. You will learn something new everyday. Today I learned that I am not as close to my kids as I thought that I was. So I guess that one is a life lesson. I love my children.
