Wow, where do I start? Or should it be how did we start?

We are a wonderfully blessed blended family that is growing everyday. I am married to C, who dove into our crazy life with both feet first and at times still appears shocked. After years of being single and growing up without siblings, he took on all of my wonderful girls just over a year ago. We bought a fantastic big house with room for all. A little short on bathrooms for this many girls, but we make it work.

I have 3 daughters. K is married to G & they have 2 daughters of their own E & A. Mck is married to J and M is a freshman in high school. The men in our lives take our craziness in stride. They are all 3 wonderful strong husbands and I feel blessed by each of their places in our lives.

Life hasn't always been this easy. A few years ago we said good bye to Mck & M's dad when he was 38 from a very rare form of colon cancer. Our lives were changed forever. E had been born just a year previous and K had just found out she was pregnant with A. I'm not sure we ever told him K was expecting again. He loved babies so very much. A few months later Mck graduated high school and began cosmetology school just as she had dreamed & told her daddy she would. A came into our lives that summer & our lives continued. Throughout this time,our sides were never left by C, our wonderful friend. Fast forward, C & I married with our girls and G at our sides. Mck had met J by this time and met us during our crazy weekend of a wedding at our home. Soon after Mck spread her wings, moved to CA to be near her sister, nieces & J. Fast forward again, Mck & J are married and still living in CA as K&G are transferred to VA. Oh my, now I have children on both coasts & one in between!

That's us, a crazy family of girls with our wonderful husbands thrown in the mix. A house with too few bathrooms and more love than imaginable
