I am currently a crazy working mom, who is attempting to do a graduate degree at the University of Illinois, raise four amazingly active kids, pregnant with the fifth, better than average wife, and the list goes on and on. I love life and family, and wouldn't trade any of it for the world!
David, is a school-o-holic, trying to finish a BS in Business, Marketing, and Economics (overachiever? I would say so!) He is an awesome stay-at-home dad in between classes and homework. We traded a very normal lifestyle for the one we are currently adventuring through and are loving (okay, maybe that's a little strong) every minute of it!
KayDee (13) is our teenage drama queen, who is more emotional than I would have ever expected. She will be a freshmen in the fall and cannot wait for driving, boys, friends, dances, you know all the normal teenage girl stuff. She is a fabulous reader and a typical student who gets the "once-a-week" talking to about her grades!
Jenna (12) is our child that excels at everything she touches. She is currently whizzing through 6th grade to be a big "Jr Higher" next year. She is so fun to be around and attracts all kinds of interesting friends. She loves to sing, especially in the shower at high pitches (YIKES!), and is a spunky kid. She is definitely the family entertainer!
Madisen (7) is our extremely temperamental first grader who always keeps us on our toes! Just this morning, she awoke happy and friendly to turn around and have a total meltdown that required David shoving her into her classroom 20 minutes after the bell had rung! Never a dull moment with this one! She loves to do gymnastics, play with cousins, and boss around anyone or anything that she can! People say she is just like me, to which I comment "I know, isn't she perfect?!"
Andrew (5) is our little man who is quickly turning into an "all boy." He used to be cuddles and kisses, but now he has traded that for picking on his sisters, sword fights with sticks, and little pecks on the cheek. Boy do they change! He loves Transformers, cars, and playing outside. He is an absolute joy after ALL THOSE GIRLS! ;)
Our newest little guy is currently cooking away, in my stomach no less, and will make his first appearance three months from now. Very unplanned, VERY, but we are excited nonetheless. He will be a great addition to our brood of characters, and we can't wait! No name as of yet, his dad is quite difficult in this area.
Well, that's us! I am hoping to keep this blog frequently updated with all the crazy and exciting things happening in our family. I hope you enjoy our stories as much as I do!
