    People talk about the older kids being so sweet and having great attitudes. I see the younger set also being great like that. How many little kids would ask to play on the Costco computers and gracefully accept the “not today, I think. We need to be quite fast today,” the way that Enoch did? Way to go, little man!

    Your good boy, Enoch, is the most positive little child I have ever seen. He looks the silver lining, and that is such a blessing. What a treasure he is to his family. Your follower from the coast of North Carolina, Deborah.

      Did your husband say that the total of this last? Shopping trip was $549.70? That is the 2nd trip. What was the 1st trip to trader? Joe's. Question? Mark and then just a few days ago? You walked to a local store and bought some grocery so does it cost? You almost a $1000 a week to feed your family question? Mark I know you had a huge thing a Disposable diapers so that is not included as food? How much was that?I heard you say something about there going to busk today so they could take a trip to see their grandmother. Does she live in California? How much busking would it take for your whole family did take this trip?

Each of the children seem to have a handful as well as the parents.

      The comment above does not make any sense because somehow since I voice texted while listening to your video from the smart TV and it picked up your voice. It was sent accidentally and I'm not able too edit it out nor delete it, sorry. I noticed that your husband ,for the most part, had your son on his back and then eventually let him run around a little bit. I'm just wondering why each of you don't take a cart so Moses could sit in a basket. My husband and I always have taken two carts when we go shopping even though it's just us two in our household at this point as we are retired. We always go to the cashier together and pay together.

My 2 cents again does Melody sit in a car seat she' should if she's weights less then 50lbs looking out for all of you. 😇Guys you should try Asiago cheese, way better tasting then parmesan cheese. I think so. Melody Please don't run. Costco will still be their. I don't want to see her get hurt if she fell. Love you Melody.
