Meet our Family

Hi, Thank you for visiting our blog.  My name is Danielle Nelson and I am the lucky Mom of twelve children.  Eleven here on Earth and one in Heaven.  I have been married to my best friend, Michael, for sixteen years.  I gained three of our twelve children when we got married.  I feel blessed that they allow me to be a part of their lives.  We then had nine children together all birthed by me which gets us to our dozen.  Our last child Joseph Parker was born still at 31 weeks on January 30, 2012.  The blessing of Joseph has changed and continues to change our family.  A piece of our family is missing everyday.  We are grateful for Christ Jesus.  It is because of Jesus that we have hope that one day our family will be whole.  This blog is a glimpse of the seasons of our life as a family.  The dreams, the hopes, the grief, the loss, the hope, the beauty, the mess, and the love that we call our family.
