The Family Chair

This is my favorite chair - and I must admit, it's getting harder for the kids and I (and Sam) to all fit on it. This is where we used to sit to read, but obviously in this position I have no arms so now we usually cuddle up like this for movie time. I love being close to my kids and love that even as they grow, they still want a little "close" time with Mom. When little brother arrives, I'm sure he'll find a spot in the pile (although we might have to get a bigger chair!). And yes, even though this was a "no shower/no makeup" day for me, I asked Tyler to take this picture, just to document one of my favorite things for posterity. I remember when we were dating and Tyler said he wanted a whole house full of kids. I think we're well on our way :)

I know of the perfect chair for you. Seriously. Its from Bassett Furniture and its called the chair and a half. If you look it up on their website it looks smaller in the picture then it is in real life. Its huge!! No problem fitting the whole family :) Glad to see you guys are all doing well:) Michelle
