For some it\u2019s a quiet dream with one or two children, but for others, like Jen and Ray Bonell, it\u2019s a real family marathon! When Jen met Ray, she didn\u2019t consider herself a mother. He had other plans in mind. But Ray\u2019s power of persuasion made the difference.

The Bonells are Jesse, Brooke, Claire, Natalie, Karl, Samuel, Cameron, Sabrina, Tim, Brandon, Eve, Nate, Rachel, Eric, Damian and Katelyn. Is it still there? Remembering names, birthdays, customs\u2026 is a daily challenge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16252 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/ezzuye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/snapedit_1723550685770.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"797\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezzuye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/snapedit_1723550685770.jpg 797w, https:\/\/ezzuye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/snapedit_1723550685770-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/ezzuye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/snapedit_1723550685770-768x964.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But for Ray and Jen it\u2019s an everyday thing.

Jen admits it\u2019s complex to manage it all, but she\u2019s never bored. Every day is unique, full of new adventures and challenges. \u201cIt\u2019s fun.
