I am in recovery from having four kids. I still don't know how much chocolate, reading and worthless TV it will take for me to recover, but I'm guessing quite a bit more. I suspect that ten plus years from now grandchildren will speed up my recovery at which point my children will regret any maladaptive behavior in their youth because there is a cost for free babysitting.
My Husband
He's busy, a perfectionist, smart, kind and has aged really well. It seriously sucks when your husband is way hotter than you are and it use to be the other way around. (No, seriously -- someone I know from the gym met him and said "That's your husband? He's really cute!" In a surprised but not unkind tone.) But his work/home life balance is wacked; so, not perfect.
The Crew
We had just moved to Boston. I had a four year-old, a two year-old and an almost one year old. I was pushing Bri and Jake in a stroller down the street to our apartment. A woman sitting on the stoop noticed us, smiled and remarked, "You have your hands full!" I politely agreed. I walked past her. "I didn't see the baby!" Burst from her lips. Will was in a backpack baby carrier. And a year and a half later we added another just to stir things up.
Brianne
So far, she is the teenager a mother dreams of having. I hope it lasts. She's in love with Kingdom Hearts, music, reading and writing.
Jacob
Jacob is sweet, hardworking, and redheaded. He loves playing games, eating apples and hates sandwiches.
William
William is a blond, blue-eyed cuddle bunny. He loves to type, listen to music, watch previews on DVDs and hates to wear pants.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth has a very well defined sense of self. She know what she wants, when she wants it and who is in the way of her getting it! Luckily she is sweet.
