Hi. This is my first attempt at blogging so...I've raised four daughters with my husband of 28 years. We are one of the those rare couples who got married at 19 and 20 and stayed married and still like and love each other. Thought we set a great example for marriage for our daughters but we now have four grandchildren and no son-in-laws to show for them. We have learned to adapt to the changes in our society. I mean what do you do? I love my children and I adore my grandbabies and there is no way I could ever turn my backs on them. So here is a quick introduction. Roger is my husband. Cara is our oldest daughter. Gabrielle or Gabbie, or Gabs, is her daughter. She is very much the girlie girl as you will see. Her father is Daniel and he is in the Navy. He wasn"t around much her first 3 years because he didn't know how to act and couldn"t get along with Cara. But he seems to have himself together now and Gabbie is very proud of him. He and Cara seem able to communicate and she lets him see her as much as he wants when he is here on leave. April is our second daughter. Austin or Aubie (Roger hates that nickname) and Tyler or Ty-ty are her sons. They are four and three and one years apart to the day. Their father is far, far away and hopefully will never ever come back. He likes his drugs to much. I personally am hoping he will be more successful with his next overdose. I know that's bad but surely God will understand. Shauna is our daughter number three. She has Riley. Riley will be two in June. The weekend after her birthday Shauna and Ryan, Riley's father are getting married. The wedding is going to be the maid subject of my blog for the next few months. And our baby is Holly. She is going to be 21 this summer. She is still in school and is working toward a degree in accounting. We also have two dogs. A ten year old Chow Chow named Abby and a three year old Malte-poo named Mylie. A huge orange cat named Roxie rounds out the mix..
