Will our family keep growing?

Had an interesting couple of bits of conversation last evening...

Over dinner with the Harris family (we love you guys!), it was discussed how we are NOT having any more kids and that a certain surgery was going to be done to me...for the record, this is the first time I have heard of this!! I am a little light headed just thinking about it (no, I did not faint... at least, not yet!).

Then, as we were getting Zach to bed, we (all but Ryan who was already asleep) said we were grateful for friends. Zach pipes up with "but we need more girls!" He had a great time playing with Madison, who is a year older then him...does this statement mean the fellas need a sister??

Jeanine would prefer to add to our family (maybe even a girl) by adding a dog. She is the big dog lover in the family...I like them too, but she is the one with the HUGE heart for pets and is instilling that in our boys...however, she HATES bugs (aren't they living creatures too, honey??) and is also instilling that in the boys...Zachary is a bug crushin' machine! I have tried to hold out in the past (we actually had a dog with us a few days in February, but we were not ready as a family) but, I know I will break down eventually and get a pup.

However, after reading this, maybe it's time for us to get a dog... or at least seriously talk about it in the near future ("near" is a synonym for "the next 3 - 5 years!).
