The Crew

Update: January 8, 2023

Still 5 humans, but now 1 dog and 2 cats. We moved to Rochester, NY on Thanksgiving Day in 2021. Everyone still happy and healthy.

Update: August 2, 2018.

The crew is now five humans and two cats loving in Nashville. The children are nearly 16, 14, and 11.

The goals are the same except I don’t feel guilty anymore. These young humans I get to spend my life with are incredible, so something must be going well.

We are a family of five humans and three pets living, learning, and working in Northern Virginia. At the start of this blog, the children are 7, 5, and Yessa will be 3 in 3 weeks.

The goal is to keep a living record of our journey together, and since I haven’t been updating the children’s individual journals, it’s also a way to assuage maternal guilt, which the world already has plenty of.

I'm adding the pictures to fill in the ones missing from above. When the blog was moved over to this new format, we lost these pictures, and I hope to replace them.
