                              My Family

From Left to Right: Ruby, Lily, Joshua, Me, and Sophie (Christmas 2011)

You've already heard about me so I'll tell you a bit about each one of my family members.

Daddy- Gerard- I have a wonderful father who is the strong spiritual leader of our family.  He LOVES to joke around and is always good at making us laugh.  He worked his way through collage as a clown and is very good at making balloon animals.  He's the only one I've met that can make a balloon piggy!  He enjoys setting up our electric train with my brother and loves Johnny Cash.

Mama-Lisa- My mama is the best Mama there is (No offence to yours!)!  She loves the Lord and is always finding opportunities for all of us to fellowship with other Christians.  She is able to juggle so much between homeschooling five of us, cooking, cleaning, driving places, raising rabbits...and so much more!  She inspired all of us to start knitting and spinning, a hobby that she also enjoys very much.

Sophie- Sophie= music.  Sophie is so very passionate about her studies of music.  She plays the flute, violin and taught herself piano.  She loves playing all the time and has an amazing ear for music.  She loves playing specials for church and performing in our co-op's concerts.  The Lord has truly blessed her with this talent and she really enjoys using His gift for His glory.  She also loves knitting, crocheting, and spinning. 

Lily-Lily is the dog lover of our family.  She loves studying about different breeds of dogs and has a list of dogs she wants when she grows up.  She also enjoys doing crafts and things in the fiber arts, especially crocheting amigurumi.  Lily also plays the violin and enjoys taking voice lessons at our homeschool co-op.  She loves to sings and has a great voice that she uses to sing praises to our God. 

Ruby-Ruby is the youngest of the four of us girls.  We adopted Ruby in September of 2006 from Jinan, China.  She is great at spinning!  She is able to spin the thinnest of us all!  She can spin a 2 ply lace weight!  She also likes to knit and crochet with yarn she's bought or spun.  She can also play the flute!  She enjoys taking watercolor classes and is in the choir at our co-op.  Ruby also enjoys doing specials at church and is good at talking to people about Jesus' saving grace.

Joshua-Joshua is 100% boy!  He loves trucks, food, trains, tools, food, superheros, robots, food...And the list goes on!  He talks to EVERYONE!  He loves to talk to people and ask them, "You believe God?"  He enjoys being read to, playing outside, and likes to learn about animals.  One of his favorite places to be is in church.  He loves hearing Bible stories and talking to God.  His favorite Bible story is David and Goliath.
