Jan Weidenbach has 12 children and 2 grandchildren (a Weidenbach record?)  She says faith and having a sense of humor is paramount to raising a family, “Because if you don’t, the stress may do you in.”

Almost true.  Three years ago she thought she was suffering from food poisoning, but doctors confirmed that she had suffered two heart attacks.  Now she says “I pick my battles and give the rest to someone else.”  That’s when having 12 kids around is handy…delegating tasks *should be* easier with that much help.

Jan just turned 50 on Mother’s Day 2010.  Happy Birthday, Jan!  Say “Hi” to Ammelia, Janna, Nickolas, Amber, Alana, Antonia, Luke, Ammanda, David, Jacob, Joshua, Matheu, Jon Paul, & Craig!
