Where we live: a little town in Texas called Baird. We bought our house in March 2002. We have lots of flowers in our yard, including roses of all different colors. Our yard was really ugly when we first bought the house but it has really turned into a gorgeous yard because of the work we've done.
Sandra's hobbies include: Genealogy and family history, reading, writing poetry, writing stories, working on my novel, working on my flower gardens, riding bicycles, movies, music of all kinds, fishing, camping, designing web pages, interior design and decorating, playing with my children, being with my husband when he's home.
Robert's hobbies include: working on anything mechanical to make it work again, fishing, camping, his job, helping his mom with stuff, barbequing, being funny, joking with the kids, picking on me and making fun at the goofy things I do at times, animals, movies, music.
Dale's hobbies include: his friends and computer/video games, movies, and talking to me on the phone.
Sara's hobbies include: movies, being lazy, riding her bike, playing with dolls, and cheerleading which she wants to do when she gets old enough to.
Ryan's hobbies include: everything a normal 5 year old likes, playing with me, Robert, watching road construction vehicles, video games, movies, and anything Spider-Man related.
Other family oriented things in our life: a daily urine test for Ryan as well as watching his cholesterol and salt intake due to the fact he has Minimal Change Nephrotic Syndrome.
Sara has counseling regularly to help us learn to deal with Oppositional Defiant Disorder or ODD. We are learning a lot.
Testing to determine if Robert has a disease called Hemachrometosis that involves too much saturation of the iron from food. Fun stuff.
With Dale we make regular calls to Guam to talk to him. He lives there with his dad.
With me, well I'm as normal as I can be with all the stuff I deal with everyday. I have no medical or psychological problems to speak of so that's good. I think I have enough to deal with the rest of the family on those grounds.
On other pages in this site, you can learn more about MCNS, ODD and Hemachrometosis if you are interested in learning about them. I will also provide links to sites involving all of them.
I will provide regular updates on this page to let everyone know how our family changes and grows. Since we all learn new things everyday about our children and ourselves, we'll add some of those lessons here. Maybe it could help someone else, who knows.
Seriously though, I'm not usually this serious. I enjoy fun and humor in life. I try my best to keep laughter in my life and those of my family. Without it, life gets boring and stale. But some topics are serious so I don't joke about them. Those that need humor will understand this.
Hope you enjoyed learning about us!
