Watching our 5 children develop into amazing adults feeling Successful with their family life , careers and personal Life. making a difference in other people’s lives and being role models for each other . throughout their lives I’ve emphasized the Importance of living life and loving what you do as I have and as adults I see them all doing exactly that. What’s most amazing is how all 5 kids living in different states keep in touch daily with our family thread making each other laugh enjoying!

That nothing is guaranteed.Enjoy the time with them it will go too quickly.We are educators not controllers and as much as we love our children they need to learn from making their own mistakes we cannot be enablers! Listen to every word they say and make them feel safe. Showing your emotions will allow them to do the same. Cherish your spouse because your children will have their own families one day and you will be left with your partner.make communication a priority ,Never give up,love them:)

My dream is to take a family vacation with all 5 kids their spouses and our 4 grandchildren enjoying each other under one roof with no stress of how to afford that. I’ve worked my entire life so I could help Provide for our kids , get them through college and feel safe now I would like to enjoy just being with them no strings attached. Not worrying how to afford it and feel guilty of spending that kind of money. Life is too short,I’m a “live life “ dont just exist. It would make everyone happy!
