My Children

MY Beautiful CHILDREN

I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH SO MANY MIRACLES!

 In 1984 I survived a near death accident. A second chance at life is more than a miracle, it's a gift... One year later, at sixteen years old, I had a planned pregnancy with my first child. Somehow I just knew it was the path that I was supposed to follow. Having a baby was all I could think about. I tried for months before I actually got pregnant. Being a Mother has been the joy of my life...

I am the oldest of four children. My sister and I are biological siblings and my brothers were adopted into our family as babies.

This is what my Mom had written on the back of 

our family photo...

 My Dad built this go cart and broke his knee right after this photo was taken. We were cranking down the driveway and he put his leg out to stop us from crashing into the garage! Poor Daddio.
