Hi,
My name is Debra. I am the wife of Rob and the mom of Shawn 24, Joel 22, Isaac 21, Jeremy 19, Amy 17, Kaylyn 15, Becca 14, Carmen 12, Jason 10, Leah 8, Jarod 7 and Hope who is almost 2 1/2 years old and is the reason I am here. We are from Southeast Iowa and I enjoy scrapbooking, sewing, teaching stamping and scrapbooking and most of all my family. My oldest son has been to Iraq twice and just had surgery on his arm because of an accident that happened over there. Was a roll over and he really was a very blessed young man because usually it is not a good thing to be on the turret (not sure of the spelling) and flip over but I know he had some very special angels that day taking care of him. He is engaged, Joel is promised, Isaac and Jeremy are in college. Isaac is about an hour and a half away and Jeremy is three hours away. He is going into Physical Therapy thanks to Hope PT who has encouraged him. Amy is a senior this year and everyone is in school except for Hope. Hope has done well but I think most of that is her "therapy" she receives from the other children. Amy, Mayson's momma is who introduced me to this forum and I am looking forward to getting to know you all.
Hope that answers some of the questions. Was not sure whether to post a new post or just update this one so I did this. Sorry if I am confusing everyone.
Hugs

OH WOW!!!!!! I have to say that I absolutely love having another mom to many here!!! And you're from Iowa too??? How cool is that??? I can't wait to learn more about you and your family!! I told my kids and hubby that you had joined today. They wanted to know when we'd get to meet you all!!
Hope is darling!! Our #10 is named Hope. I was reading your blog and chuckled over the mileage charge for running things to school.
So please...tell us more!! Where in Iowa are you??

Wow so many children. My eyes are watering at the thought of so many labours. Welcome to Downsyn. Looking forwards to seeing photos of all your kids, especially your youngest Hope. You choose a lovely name.

Welcome! Holy smokes is right. I would LOVE to have so many kiddos but my dh says he's getting "too old to have any more than 4"! So, I'm envious! Your gang looks great also, (just was checking out your photos in photo section!) Thanks for joining us, and can't wait to here lots more about your family!
