I brought 2 kids with me when I met Nickie - but her love is so big she immediately accepted them and called them her own - not many people would do that. The children are all uniquely individual - Savannah loves art, specifically drawing, and baking. Ashton loves horror movies, and YouTube personalities. We are all working together to raise a tiny human named Frances who loves everyone - and mischief. As for me, I guess I'm the even keel keeping us steady, for the most part. And allegedly, I’m the goofy one as well.

We are a blended family. I love each one of them equally though, they will always be "my kids" whether I've birthed them or not. Each child brings their own special quality into our already eclectic household. Savannah (or Kid One as we refer to her) brings her cautious nature, her natural artistic ability to draw and create, her passion for baking, and her horrible-not-horrible Dad jokes. Ashton (middle child, Kid Two) brings his goofy nature, his easy-excitability, his need to make anyone around him feel better, and his obsession with horror movies. Frances (youngest and referred to as Kid Three) brings her assertive nature, her drive to be center of attention, and helps us all connect and work together to try and raise her into a decent human. Each kid is also seven years apart, which I think is pretty special. It makes Jason and I constantly learn, and helps us prepare for each stage of life for each kid.
Jason has a calm nature, an ability to remember any song and sing it randomly in any situation - he has an extremely social personality - he is the backbone of our family. I bring a caring nature, a drive to make everyone happy and feel at home, a passion for cooking, and a love of animals...
All these things combined make our household full of music, amazing food, laughter, sometimes yelling (we are a passionate bunch), crafts, animals, thoughtful conversation, learning, and a need to cherish and make each day count. I think that is what makes our family special.
