Having 6 children is such a wonderful blessing, I wouldn't trade it for anything, although there are trying times. I just try to take each day as it comes, not worry about the future (i.e. braces, college...etc). God has provided for us so far and I trust He will continue to do so. I try to enjoy the kids. You have 4 really close in age, I know it's tough sometimes. I had my first 4 really close also and some days I didn't think I was going to make it. As they get older they can help out more, it does get easier in alot of ways. We do alot of fun things together as a family, don't let having a big family stop us from travelling, etc. Work together w/ your spouse, show a unified front to the kids. That's all I can think of right now. Really, I'm no expert, some days I wonder just what the heck I'm doing w/ all these kids
