Felicity
Felicity is my first born child and my only girl. She is 8 years old and ready to enter 3rd grade. She is gentle, sweet, and caring. She is into everything Disney, including princesses, fairies, and Hannah Montana, as well as American Girl and Build-A-Bear. She is a voracious reader and loves doing all kinds of craft projects. She hasn’t met a stuffed animal (stuffy) she hasn’t loved. She is embracing my husband’s love of sports, especially basketball (Go, Lakers!) and football (Go, Steelers!). She is spectacular as a big sister and is sometimes like a little mommy herself.
Chase
Chase is my oldest son. He is an inquisitive 4 year old and in Pre-K. He is a true boy, but also has a sensitive side. He has the best, most joyful laugh I’ve ever heard. He loves cars, swimming, and playing outside. He is a Wii fanatic. He is in the throws of potty training now, with more successes than not, although it’s been a rough journey. My mother-in-law tells me he’s just like his Daddy when she trained him. I always tell Chase he’s my handsome big boy. He abbreviates that and tells me he’s my “handsome”.
Nick
Nick is my youngest child. In a month, he will be a full-fledged 2 year old. He is just starting to develop his personality, which is truly an amazing thing. We call him our troublemaker. If there’s something that’s climbable, he’ll figure out a way to climb it. His favorite thing to climb right now is our dining room table. He doesn’t miss a beat, and if you have anything – and I mean anything – laying around, he will find it, thus earning him the additional nickname ”sticky fingers”.
