Welcome to the Carnival of Family Life #9! I am very honored to be hosting on a week when, as luck seems to have it, the Carnival is chock-full of some of the best blog material around. Packed with a diverse outlook on everything family, you're sure to find something here that strikes a chord. I know I sure did. So grab a cup of your favorite drink and kick back with us for a fun-filled trip through the family-filled-realm of the blogosphere.
