20 Nieces and Nephews


As of Saturday afternoon I am now an Aunt to 20 children. That's 18 on my family's side and 2 on Dustin's. For those of you who don't know, I have 10 brothers and sisters. So far only 6 of them are married. If all of my siblings get married and have 4 kids each... that's 40 nieces and nephews on my side alone. Cool huh.
This newest addition is Walker Steven Chalk born on Saturday and weighing in at 9 pounds 15 ounces. That's right. One more ounce and he would have been a 10 pound baby. Let's face it, he pretty much is 10 pounds. And my sister in law April is my new hero. I thought I would die when mine was 8 and a half pounds! Thankfully, they are both happy and healthy and doing well. I am so blessed.
