The drawback of having 4 sisters
The drawback of having four sisters is you begin to think you are one of them. He saw the girls “pretending” the other day with the balls on the Christmas tree. Then today he decided to try it for himself. I have a feeling this picture will come back to haunt him some day. In …

Ellie’s first week
It is hard to believe that Ellie has been a part of our family for full week already. Adjusting to a newborn, after having been through five other children, hasn’t been as hard as I anticipated. Plus, I am trying to enjoy every moment with her that I can before she loses that newborn sweetness. …
Welcome to the family, Ellie

Both Grandpa Mike and Grandpa Gary served in Vietnam. Uncle Matt served in Iraq, deployed over …
Happy 6th KK!
