Dozens of Doilies

When I remember how I couldn't imagine having any babies but boy-children when Millie was yet unborn, I laugh.

What would my life be like with 5 boys (+Zeke) instead of 5 girls (+Zeke)?  I'm confident of one thing: if I asked a boy to clear and wash the counters, I probably wouldn't come into the kitchen later to see all the doilies we own scattered throughout a gleaming kitchen.

 

I'm also pretty confident that if I asked a boy to put x's on the hard-boiled eggs, he wouldn't label them with appropriate pictures for each member of the family.

Zeke's got a hard act to follow, but I bet he'll shine in his own doily-less way.
