You have been in a time warp, Jessica! You barely look any older or different now! Motherhood sits well with you. ❤️
Wow! Gabe is Adam’s TWIN!!
It is absolutely baffling!
I was thinking the same thing!
I agree with you!
I thought it was Gabe!
Me too.
Loved this! The first time Adam appeared on camera (5:57) at first glimpse I thought it was your oldest now with Hannah on the counter !
I thought the same!!
So did I.
Same!
Yeah ,me too
Same thoughts here! Gabe looks like Adam a lot!
Oh my goodness, Gabe and Adam look IDENTICAL!!! That’s crazy how similar they look. Thanks for sharing this video! It’s fun to see your older 4 younger
I got up with my husband every single day and made him breakfast and packed his lunch for 15 years. He started intermittent fasting so then I started sleeping in which was helpful for me as a mother of five little girls within six years. I was able to go through all five of our girls on cloth diapers and almost all of them made it! I was then able to gift our diapers to a church friend and she was able to use them for her kiddos.
You're doing a great job, then and now! I was a stay at home Mom of 8 children, 13 years apart from 1992 to 2005. It truly is the most rewarding life experience and I wish more Moms would and could stay home to raise their babies!
I was a stay at home Mom with just 2 children. It was by far the hardest yet most rewarding job I have ever had. It was such a blessing that I never take for granted. My children are both grown and married and now I am full time caregiver for my 2 year old. Granddaughter.
I was a stay at home mom, and gave birth to our first son 40 years ago. Three years later I gave birth to our second son. I can honestly say that I would do it all again!! ❤ I did not go back to work until our youngest was in 3rd grade. Fortunately I was able to work while the children were at school, and I picked them up from school every day. After school we would all go home to have snack time, then homework began. I cherish those years ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Never excuse a "messy house" it just means its lived in and there's lots of love going around ☺
My goodness! Seeing Adam with the baby on the counter it was like seeing Gabe with Hanna! What a little treasure this video is. Thank you for sharing it. *Hugs*
"Not quite sure why I put the bread in the fridge but I guess that's what I did 10 years ago." 🤣 That made me laugh! As women, we change as much as we stay the same, don't we? Thanks for sharing Jessica! The scenes of baby Elizabeth sleeping are just precious.
Jessica...I would absolutely love to see more videos from your archives. This was so enjoyable to watch and being a newer subscriber to your wonderful channel I am enjoying every video I can find from years past. God bless you and your beautiful family! 💕
My tuu
You're such a wonderful Mom - and I would know, my mom was one in a million, and I see the same love & care pouring out of you into your children - and you haven't aged in ten years!!!!! Hope the rest of your week is fabulous, and I'll "see you" Sunday!
As a mama of two in the early season of motherhood, this is encouraging to watch. Thank you for sharing!
You're a wonderful Mum... now and back ten years ago! I'd love to see more of any special videos you are happy to share. The fact you share posts of your beautiful family is a blessing to me. Miss Hannah seems to be the most contented and gorgeous baby, thanks to her wonderful family. Thank you so much for all you do.
Thank you for that surprise video treat! They were so sweet littles! It's interesting to see how the younger 4 have traits similar to the older 4. And Gabe looks so much more like Adam's younger self than I imagined.
I’m not a home schooler but really love the way one can incorporate lessons into real life. Like weather/day of week.
Such a true statement that “ motherhood is difficult no matter the season “
What a blessing to see how your family has grown and blossomed!🙏
And grandchildren DO fill the refrigerator with pictures 😊
It's amazing to see you've been this stay at home Wonder Woman for so long! It makes me angry to think about people who complain about how hard it is with one or two children, when people like you are living proof that a good heart and a strong work ethic can achieve amazing things.
Don’t judge others for what their hard might be. We have no idea what other people might be going through. Everyone’s hard is different. This is why Christ is the ultimate judge and not ourselves.
They are still valid moms and parents for having one or two kids.
@@caitlinlorea912 Im not saying theyre better or worse people or that people who struggle make me angry, Im saying specifically the people who complain about how hard having a small family is. its like someone saying 'this sport is too hard, etc..' instead of putting in more time/effort.
While I agree 100% with the Christ being the ultimate judge, a lot of people will claim to be overwhelmed when in reality, theyre not willing to put in the effort
@@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805 but how do you know what effort they are putting in? How do you know what their day to day looks like? Why can’t they have a hard time too? Just because they have fewer kids doesn’t mean it can’t be hard. We never know what people are going through and it just seems like it’s a lot of judgement on what people are doing. If someone is having a hard experience and they are saying that then just let them say that, instead of coming and judging someone for how hard you perceive they are working.
@@caitlinlorea912 You can tell a tree by the fruit it produces/ you can discern "whining" from "struggling". Obviously if someone has a situation considered 'easier' relative to my life, but they seem overwhelmed by their life, that's not an indictment on them. If someone is not what Bonnie from Outnumbered: the podcast' would consider an 'intentional parent', and they complain about nonsense, then seeing people like Jessica who're living proof that there's no excuse for not putting in the effort, if they have or they are, then its not aimed at them.
It's great and so realistic. As a mom of two kids (ages 4 and 2) and one on the way, I truly thank you for sharing this. We see too much "perfection" at times on social media and can deceive moms never feeling we do enough but looking at you and your family makes me feel inspired. God bless you all!
So precious to see this from your archives. How lovely to have your family life documented in this way
It’s funny that although I’m 65 mentally I still feel younger but physically I’m feeling older, seeing Adam look so young just shows the progression of our aging but your mind still keeps you young ❤
Oh my goodness! So fun seeing the older kids as Littles!!!!!! They are darling of course. Awesome video 🖤
What a blessing to have that footage! I wish I had recorded more videos when my 6 were little. Those days were such a blur with all that goes into homeschooling and raising littles. Thank you for sharing this sweet video:)
Love that you shared this! What an encouraging mid-week treat! I have felt so overwhelmed homeschooling and raising just three children who are reasonably spaced out (3y), but my two boys are 1 and 4 and keep things pretty wild and crazy around here. The house is never clean, but we eat good food and for the most part enjoy life at home together. I'm hoping that's enough till I have some helpers age into doing some of the work with me. 😆
Loooooved looking back on the old footage!!!! David and Gabe look just like Adam!!!!!! Wow!!!! and the girls ...how precious they are as wee tots!!
That was so fun I loved it, everyone looked so happy and of course much younger, except for you, I swear you have not aged a day, the only difference was the length of your hair. Please share more it's like looking through a much loved family album.
Thank you so much for sharing that video, how sweet to see the older children when they were younger. Oh what a blessing each and everyone of them are, love and Prayers from Indiana
What a special treat to be able to watch you in a season close to where I am at with all littles and no big kids. Through this God continues to remind me that when he calls children a blessing he means it. ❤ Thank you for sharing.
What a fun flashback. My mother-in-law had children for 20 years. She was always such a young acting grandmother. Sure miss her. 🥰
Amen! Motherhood is difficult and different no matter the season! I strive to look at it as a blessing. Some days I have to remind myself of this. I have four ages 18-2. We are in all the stages of parenthood right now. Watching your videos and seeing your happiness is a blessing!❤
I loved that little peak into your life! I pray for more children like this.
This was so awesome! They were so little! Gabe is identical to Adam! Thank you for sharing this! Your children are beautiful blessings! The years go by so fast and it's so great you found this video & it's so funny you now have 4 more little ones around the same ages!🤗💖
What a great video! So fun to see the older children when they were little, and how the day went. It seems like I can see a resemblance between Adam and Gabriel at the beginning that I hadn't realized before. I would enjoy seeing more of these "vintage" videos.
Oh my I am 68 now ,but I had 6 5 girls and one boy. I see that you are doing a wonderful job. Manny blessings to you and your family
I think the most SHOCKING thing was how much Gabe looks like Adam! Seeing Adam stand at the kitchen counter and live on the baby, at first my brain wanted to think it was Gabe. So that was fun. You wore your hair longer, but still wore a head covering. And several other things were just fun to see. So yes, more of these would be interesting to see. Especially if it meant an extra video each week. LOL
This one brought tears to my eyes. We have a lot in common and a lot of what you said hits home with me. Especially “you don’t have 8 children unless you enjoy a challenge.” 🤣 We have 8 children as well, 6 and then 2, split by a 4 year gap. We have moved twice, but recently went down to a house 1/3 the size, so I understand what you kept saying about so much space. I love it here though. We are so blessed to have this time with our children. 💗
Seeing Adam with hair just shows how much the kids look like him! Especially your oldest son! If he grew his hair out, you'd get photos mixed up!🥰
I can’t believe how much Gabe looks like Adam. And the little boys look like the older boys. I loved your look back video. You are truly blessed.💕💕
The pacifier part ; the way your daughter looked at you, what a wonderful moment of love
This was so nice to see the older children when they were young, the younger siblings now look like the older children. Thank you for sharing❤
That was a neat to see your almost grown kiddos, as littles. Love it, Jessica 💗💗
This was so fun Jessica. Wow! Such beautiful babies. They all look like Adam. His long hair was so different. Please show more. I'd love to see them all.
Yes Jessica! I would love to see more special videos. I am a Mom of 2, 15 years apart. It definitely felt like I was starting over ☺
Adam reminds me of Michael Scott in the throwback office episode with the long hair. This was so fun to watch!
🤣 he actually had a really long beard with that hair and had just shaved it not too long before this video. I preferred the beard with the hair!
What a trip down memory lane! Reminded me of mine 10 years ago (my kids are about the same ages as your older kids).. Can relate to the challenge of being more mentally and emotionally drained with older kids! I look at our pictures and videos from that time and the house looks like a tornado went through it.. so was nice seeing you were in the same situation too!
I had 3 4 and under and homeschooled, this was very much what my life looked like. I am now remarried and have a 1 year old with my 14, 12 and 10 year old. I love having big helpers now. I'm starting to do more canning and gardening and my big kids are opting to have their own garden space.
This is awesome! It's like your reliving your life 10 years later as the younger kids look identical to the older ones. You seem to have not aged at all either. Love this video! Adam with a mullet is priceless. Thanks so much for sharing!
I am just about to deliver my 4th baby in 5 years, and this video was just so life giving for me! I always love your videos, and seeing your sweet family. But this one, this one helps me stay focused on the season that I am in, and to realize that I am not alone in a lot of my daily struggles. Thank you ❤
Agreed motherhood is difficult at all seasons, but the rewards are endless. I would never want to go back to pre mommy days.
This one is my favorite video you've made so far! I am coming out of having all little babies. We had 5 kids in 6 years💙
What a precious memory Jessica. You are truly an Angel .
How stinking adorable! Thanks for sharing. I always think there is something wrong if a house is clean and tidy with kids.
Exactly, a home is lived in 🚫 something in a catalogue 👋😘❗
I loved the glimpse from the past. I wished ,so many times, that we had the technology back in the day like we do today. Always fun to look back together.
The apple didn't fall far from the tree with Gabe! Jessica you look the same!
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
I like seeing this with the older kids as little kids.
Wow, this was so fun to listen to while making dinner, I may watch it again when I'm not busy! I currently have four children five and under, and I also homeschool, but we're in a teeny, tiny apartment (stuck because of the housing market). I would love to see more of these old videos with fewer and littler children!
Awesome video. The kids were so cute. They have grown up into such great helpful kids. 💜
Aww I loved seeing this video of the older kids being so little. So cute.
So nice to see your older children when they were little! Grace is so cute. Thanks for sharing, would love to see more
What a fantastic video, thank you for sharing it with us. I would love to see more videos of the children when they where younger.
the likeness between your eldest son now and his dad 10 years ago is uncanny, loved the video ❤
What a sweet mother you are - a lovely family. Thank you for sharing.
I loved this video! I have three kids three and under. It is very overwhelming for me and I really struggle to keep my cool, especially when the older two do not listen.
The not listening thing is the toughest for me too, and I've never had more than 2 that were ages 3 and under, because my 6 are all between 2-3 years apart, so I can't imagine.
I think the best advice I was ever given was to enjoy my children every day, even on the hard days. That was given to me by a fellow shopper when I was at the grocery store with a newborn and his older 4 siblings at the time. I've tried to keep that in mind, especially on the hard days.
God bless you and lend you His strength and grace as you raise those precious little blessings 💖
This was fun, thank you. Something that so many people do, and I have to chuckle a bit, is think that they need to put their face so close to a newborn's face, at times, when talking/interacting with eye contact to eye contact. (I'm not referring to Momma's nursing time, or someone offering a little kiss) Imagine if someone put their face only inches away from our face to interact with us. 😊 we'd be like ... whoa ... please back up a bit. But it's a sweetness and people all over do it.
I would love to see more videos like this. I thought this one was absolutely precious! I can't wait for the next one!
Awww, so sweet to see those little faces! Thanks for sharing this glimpse into your lives.
I started watching you about a year ago, visiting you on here has been a big part of learning to be a Christian women. ❤❤
Jessica, this is a beautiful video! I relate so much to you as a homeschool, home birth, Christian mom of 7 boys and our 8th baby, a girl that was born about a week after your Hannah. My oldest is also almost 16. I was just telling my older kids I didn't know how I used to manage before they were older. They love holding the baby and helping occupy the 3 year old. Such a gift they each are. ❤️I used to baby wear a lot more in those early motherhood years as well. We came to realize we had celiac disease with members of our family and had to relearn baking and cooking. I love watching your videos and feeling I have another mom living life so similar to mine. ❤️
We have so much in common!
And the cloth diapers, baby sister is wearing some with blue giraffes. 😆 They work on her just as well as they did her brothers. ☺️ I did buy her a couple diaper covers with flowers and hearts.😍
This was so beautiful Jessica… tx for sharing! Every season of motherhood is special and different ❤
Hi, I found your channel few months ago. This video help me to realise that motherhood is always challenge. As a mother of 5 small children I am sometimes so tired...but still love all of my little ones and my husband too. Thanks for joy. 🤗💞
Loved this video. It was interesting to see your old home and the older kids when they were younger.
Good for you for getting into the videos. My children are now 30, 23 and 20 and I am almost always the person behind the camera and rarely in front. I wish I had done more of that.
Yes! Would love to see more like this. Have a blessed day.😊
I love all the videos! This was so nice to see the big kids so small.
Children are a blessing from God. God bless all your work and bless your family.
Wow! I thought Adam was Gabriel in the beginning of video! This is such a blessing to have this footage. ❤️
Loved the older video! Amazing! Your family just fills me with joy!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing! So fun to see the older children as littles😊. You are blessed with a lovely family! Always enjoy all you share with us.
Yes! Love these insights to the past with a large growing family!
So fun to see the early family life. Such great parents the children are blessed with❤
I loved this video. Such a blessing for you to be able to look back for these memories and not just on pictures. Such fun.
This was a breath of fresh air, thank you for the opportunity to see this side!
Loved this, it's always to go back and reminisce!
Enjoyed at a look back. Kids will always enjoy looking back when they are older. Yes, share more older videos. Thanks for sharing.
This was SO great to see and very relatable. Thanks for sharing!
Such a fun little video. I enjoyed seeing the older 4 as the wee ones. The joy on your face as you explained everything was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
That was absolutely beautiful....thank you so much for sharing it. Watching this took me back to when my oldest four were those same ages. I was right there doing the exact same things! What a treasure! ❤️
Love this peek at your younger family! Thank you for sharing.
Awe...precious moments...this is beautiful and many great memories ❤️
Gabe praying! Always a favorite thing to see. Such a great video, thanks for sharing!
How great is it to remember where we've been and look at where we are. What a blessing you've shared with us.
Omg they are so little!!! I love it! I too wake up the kids before my husband goes to work! Great little glimpse into the past, thanks for sharing with us!! 💕
This was so neat to see! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Loved going down memory lane with you!!! 🥰
