My Family


Anyone who cares to read my blog will know that I live with multiple dogs. My house is a busy, crazy place full of energy and noise. Increase that noise tenfold when Devin is home.


Devin is our 9 yr old son. Greg and I are very proud of this intelligent, athletic, spririted boy. As I write this, they are both at football practice which is a required activity to tire him out and make living with him peaceful, if only for a few hours. This is his second year playing football and it looks as if he will play a defensive position again. We call him "the Hitman Gilligan" due to his natural ability to tackle kids that weigh 20 lbs or more than he does. I do not know what sport, if any, he will continue to play throughout his life but football has brought structure along with both physical and mental challenges. It is more than a sport, it teaches discipline, honor, respect and teamwork. I am very impressed with the coaches in our area and I look forward to his first game of the season.
The picture above was taken this past Christmas. Gusto, my 3-yr old male BC is Devin's buddy. Devin and Gusto look for each other every morning and they have to give hugs and kisses to start the day off right.
