Mother of Six??? (Yes, and loving it!!!)

I am the 25 year wife of Michael and mother of six, yes, six children and, yes, I am a joyful mom at home. I have spent the last 21 and a half years as the primary caregiver of my children and they have been the best years of my life. I am the proud mother of
Michael-- philosophy major at Notre Dame, fabulous actor, swing dancer, singer, and all around nice guy...
Anne-- nursing student at Madonna University whose beauty and excellent taste are only exceeded by her kind heart....
John-- a senior in high school with extraordinary musical talent, an astonishing ability in mathematics, winning smile, and a gentle spirit....
Jim-- freshman in high school who would do anything for anybody, talented all around athlete and guitarist, one of those rare teenagers who truly can focus on others besides himself...
Mary-- sweet Mary, sixth grader (can it be true?),fun- loving exuberant, with a quiet compassion for others... She once donated her lovely long blonde hair to "Locks of Love"....
Elizabeth--- with the million dollar smile, a fifth grader (no way!), aspiring cellist, and one delightful, strong-minded little girl who, in her own words, "is not afraid of anything!"

I look back on the last two decades with sweet contentment that I didn't miss a moment in the awesome adventure of watching and guiding the development of six uniquely gifted and beautiful human beings.
