“If you are not too
long, I will wait here for you all my life.” –Oscar Wilde

What's keeping us busy while we
wait? Our kids!
Here are a few highlights. We will update every month or
so until we travel to China.
Jessica, Jessi, Jessie,
Jesse, Jess…(depends on the day, depends on the mood) is
our very individualistic and expressive 14-year-old
daughter. The girl LOVES to dance! When she is not at the
studio with her ballroom team or practicing individual
routines with her partner, you can usually find her in her
bedroom, “in privacy time”, with the sounds of cha-cha or
jive vibrating through the closed door. Jessi is a
perfectionist in every sense of the word. She plays the
piano beautifully and won’t settle for anything less than
straight A’s. She can’t wait for Sophie to come home!
You can usually find Nate, 11-years-old, chill’in with his
hoops and tunes. He LOVES basketball (or any sport for
that matter) and country music! He is the happiest with a
fully charged i-pod battery, a basketball, and a handful
(or entire package) of E.L. Fudge cookies! He has grown
several inches this year and is always hungry! He is very
funny and keeps us laughing with his quick sense of humor.
Nathan is a talented pianist and has played since the
first grade. If given the option however, he would tell
you that he’d rather play the guitar than the piano…just
like Kenny Chesney!
Christian can be easily described in one word…happy! You
rarely see Christian, 8-years-old, without an infectious
smile on his face. He is easy-going, loving and so easily
pleased with the simple things in life. He loves to chat
and is a great conversationalist. Many, actually, have
told us that he’ll be a politician someday. He does have
that “flashy” smile and has been known to recite the
preamble to the U.S. Constitution to those waiting in
lines at Disneyland. Christian stands for everything right
and good. He wants to be a cowboy-policeman when he grows
up and was recently honored at school as the 2nd grade
“Builder of the Year”!
Michael, 7-years-old, is the little one with big artistic
flair! He spends hours creating and can always be found
with smudges of paint and marker on his hands and face. He
is very observant and is the first one to notice a
beautiful sunset or the colors on the mountains. We have
pictures he has made, too-numerous-to-count, of every kind
of dinosaur imaginable. Let me tell you, he can paint a
mean T-Rex! He started the 1st grade this year and mom has
missed having him in the backseat of the car speculating
on various eras of the dinosaur. Of course, he wants to be
a paleontologist or a snake hunter when he grows up! |
