Our son - The other "Man of the House" is an 17 year old who is growing up much too quickly to suit his mother. He is such a blessing and help to us - I don't think we could do it without him. He can and will do anything we ask of him and now that he is "driving" - we ask a lot! He goes and fetches dog food, etc for all our furry friends. That means carrying 50 lb sacks of dog and horse food quite often :) Our first blessing...
Our first daughter is very mature, extremely intelligent 15 year old lady. She is the head strong, determined type and once she has her mind on something.....there is NO changing it. She is our more reserved child - but once she decides she likes you - look out......you have a true friend for life. You can always find this one curled up on the couch or somewhere reading a book - we can't keep her supplied in books, as she reads constantly if allowed. She is the main one who makes sure our four legged friends are all fed each day. We can and do count on her in many ways. Such a blessing....
Our second daughter is full of spunk.... She is 13 and thinks she is grown...We still have to keep an eye on this one since she is afraid of absolutely NOTHING. Came to the house this summer with a snake she caught with her bare hands....yikes! She is sassy, bossy, prissy and absolutely adorable - we figure she will be an excellent leader one day.......of something??? She has blossomed into quite a lovely young lady who is a die hard athlete - pitching and playing fastpitch softball every chance she gets. Our third blessing...
And last but certainly not least - in 2008 we were blessed with our fourth child who is now 4...a beautiful, sweet, full of life little lady...daughter number 3! Oh my gosh she is everything we all wanted wrapped in one ball of person. She has been such a wonderful addition to this family. She has made child care come alive in this home full of teenagers. I used to teach child care to teenagers - now this child is the best teacher of all to my own :) We all adore her ... hope she isn't too rotten - she could not be much happier and we could not happier with her. She loves ALL the puppies and helps us socialize every single one....
