Well... here we go! I have wanted to do one of these for a while just to share with family and friends what is going on in our crazy house and with life in general. It will also give me a place to write ideas and thoughts without Bob having to hear each and every one of them!
First of all... an introduction...
I am Melanie and I am the mom, wife, chef, taxi driver, accountant, nurse, and tutor for this family. I love to scrapbook and am terribly behind... I am researching our family history and have been on that project for many years... I play keyboard with our band at church... I love to cook and have planted my first garden this year... AND I am trying to learn to quilt!
I have four children... Heather has already moved out on her own. Katelin is soon to be 16 and is in high school. She is a very smart kid and LOVES being in her high school marching band. The clarinet playing has improved and we are beyond the squeek squeek sqawks! Jonathan is 11 and plays guitar and sings all the time. He must know every song ever made! He plays some in our praise band at church. He loves the Lord and very much wants to have his own Christian music band some day. Carrie is the dwarf of the family! She is nine and is delightful! She is a special needs child and is in a special classroom at school but is very big when she tells you she is in 2nd grade. Be ready though, because she will also ask what grade you are in!
Bob is my wonderful hubby and we have shared this life since 1995! He is my very best friend and a great man of God. He is a youth pastor and we have a great group of kids at Archdale First Church. He and I also co-direct Carolina Ministries Kids and Youth Camps.
So..... there you have the basics and I will add more as I figure this thing out!
