We’re just an average family, in a fairly small town. We’re very active in our Church, in our school, and in the community.
I’m the Mominator, although I don’t remember how I earned that moniker. Maybe that’s because I wear so many hats: the usual ones, wife and mom, plus those associated hats such as class mom and Girl Scout leader; plus a few unusual ones such as musician, Eucharistic Minister, Children’s Liturgy Leader, and president of the Guild. There may be a few more hats that I’m forgetting.
My wonderful husband is a kind, gentle, sweet, modest man and a totally amazing father. He has a rich, deep faith which he shares by being a Children’s Liturgy Leader. He’s probably such a great father because he’s still has a little kid inside him. His inner Kid is full of joy and innocence, not the bratty, immature man-kid we often see in sit-coms. But what people seem to notice the most is that he takes technology further. On any given day, he uses 2 computers (plus 2 virtual machines (I don’t understand that either)), 1 touchpad, 4 cell phones (including 1 Blackberry), and 5 email addresses. He could out-MacGyver MacGyver. He is our Gadget Guy.
Our eldest and only son is Bumblebee, who loves all things Transformers. He rides his bike all over town (and always wearing his helmet). He sees the world a little differently than most of us. Making friends is hard for him. He’s on the autistic spectrum.
Our older daughter is the Pink Ballerina. She is incredibly smart, a High Honors student, a member of the National Jr. Honor Society, as well as in Gifted & Talented classes. She’s strong, and fragile. Watching her grow up is like watching a mini-me, although she does all things dance, whereas I did all things music.
Our younger daughter, the tiebreaker, is Princess Imagination. She can make dolls out of facial tissue. Her dolls travel and have adventures, and have been to more places than most of us can dream about in a lifetime. This is all accomplished before she goes to school in the morning.
