Congratulations @Locke. Youāre a great age to be still fathering children. Almost Bernie Ecclestonesque at this stage.

45 is the new 30 sure!!!
Congrats Locke.
What seems to be the average sized family for those in their 40s these days? I thought 2 kids was going to become more the norm with our generation but quite a few 3s and even 4s around as time passes among my peers. No 5s that I know of yet though.

There was a fella over the road from my grandparents. Heād have been a cousin of my grandfatherās actually. Anyway, back in the day (c. 50-55 years ago) his Mrs gave birth to their 15th child. On the way back from Nenagh he said that theyād stop into Nelly Spillaneās for a few pints as it would be a while before the next one.
A ferociously lazy man. His wife was a saint. My grandmother was saying she could make a dinner to feed them all out of nothing.
