i have two boys, amari just turned 7 last week and asiah will be 2 weeks old tomorrow plus my girlfriend has 2 girls that i love like they're mine anyways (joniah - 9 and nuriah - 6), so that's 4 all in all...

and yup kids are really a blessing. i can't imagine life without them, they make all the hard work worthwhile. i still stay active and get to do what i want to do...it's just that your priorities change once kids are involved. still, i totally respect a person who decides not to have kids until they're ready, because that's being responsible too. better that, than being a deadbeat parent for sure...
