We also have our very narrow garage (our cars don't even fit in it). That is going to be a narrow library with two chairs and a fire place. My husband and my little room from everyone else. Then there is always room to put on an addition or two. We could add a larger dining room (after all with 14 children in the house we will need a bigger dinning room). We will probably need to extend the Kitchen too while we are at it. Or we may just sell the house and buy a big Victorian with room for 20. I figure I don't want them all at once. But I am 27 and JOhn is 30. So I figure we have a good 30 years before we reach the point where we should stop having kids. And boy could we fit a lot of kids into that time frame. We have Gabriel now. We will have one or two more soon (hopefully) and then we can just have one or two ever couple of years. Can't wait to see what the family Thanksgivings will be like when I am 70. We will have to rent a hall.

(Note, most of this is in great jest. Although we have concidered how can we make room for more. I think I would loose my mind with 20 kids.)

Good luck to you all in the quest to find space for more,
