For those that we don’t have the privilege of knowing in person, I wanted to give you a brief introduction to our fabulous four. We don’t post our kids’ first names on our blog, so they have cyber nick-names.

SUNSHINE is fourteen and starting High School.  Like her name, she is joyful, kind, and silly.  She loves playing the cello, collecting rocks and monument coins, reading sci-fi, building in Mine Craft, and gardening.  She’s a creative story teller and loves to write, draw, paint, and craft.  She has an extreme fondness of ice cream and she’s stuck like glue to our chocolate labradoodle, Kuma!  She has a wonderful reputation of being responsible and dependable beyond her years!

BIRD is twelve and starting seventh grade.  She’s our animal whisper.  She has a particular fondness to birds and horses.  She spends much of her time training and loving on her three cocketiels, skate boarding, biking, building Mine Craft, and reading.  This girl was born singing and she fills our home with her beautiful voice.  She’s learning to play the guitar and she’s also a talented actress.  She’s funny and the polar-opposite of shy!

BUTTERCUP is eight and starting third grade.  She’s a little brainiac who loves anything mentally challenging.  (She’s hard to keep up with!)  She LOVES card games, strategy games, logic games, or really anything that involves competition.  She’s always the first to offer the help or serve and she’s always has a “thank you” or a sweet word of encouragement.    She loves to draw, bake,  and swim and she has the cutest giggles you’ve ever heard!

THE NINJA is five and is starting Kindergarten.  This kid is HILLARIOUS!  He is a conversationalist through and through, and he’ll talk your ear off! He has the vocabulary of a 20 year old and describes the world through his eyes in elaborate detail.  He is a deep thinker and cracks us up with his ideas! He can hold his own with all the girls, but he’s a mighty man when it comes to “battling”.  He loves all things that shoot and he spends hours setting up his army men.  He wants to be a police officer, or a soldier, or the President of the United States when he grows up.
