Introducing the Family

New Mommy is the author of the blog. I started blogging because I have a horrible memory, and I thought that an online journal would serve several purposes. It would help our families keep track of what we're up to and help me remember events, with pictures, to boot!

I was a violin and orchestra teacher before I had children. Now, I'm a very fulfilled, full-time wife-mommy.

New Daddy is New Mommy's husband since May 2002. He is a software engineer, but enjoys fishing and playing fingerstyle guitar in his spare time.

Precious is the oldest child in the family. She was born in December of 2004. Talkative and bubbly are her most defining personality traits.  She is a model oldest girl, helping me at every turn.

Bubby is the second child in the family. He was born in August of 2006. We have been practicing Elimination Communication since he was five weeks old. Bubby is our resident clown, organizer, and illustrator.

Cutie is the third child in the family. She was born in January of 2009. She is my second successful graduate of EC.  She first sat on the potty when she was nine days old. She is a gentle soul, not easily phased by, but still quite appreciative of, the antics of her siblings.  She is not one to be outdone by their antics either, and stands up for herself quite nicely.

Tater is boy number two, child number four in the family.  He was born in June 2012.

Mimi and Poppy are New Daddy's beloved parents.

Grandmother R and Grandad R are New Mommy's beloved parents.

Uncle B is New Daddy's brother. He is also a .Net web developer and a blogger. Aunt Mo is Uncle B's wife. They have four children, Cousin Za- boy, Cousin E- girl, Cousin Zo and Cousin K. Cousins Zo and K are fraternal twin girls born in January of 2007.

Uncle W is New Mommy's brother.  He has two boys, Cousin I and Cousin S.

Aunt R is New Mommy's older sister. She is a high school chorus teacher.

Aunt Ma is New Mommy's younger sister, married to Uncle J. They gave us a beautiful niece, Cousin EF, in April 2015.
