At times our house is a mini zoo with – geckos, hamsters, crabs, axolotl, dogs etc I have 2 amazingly wonderful kids, one in high school and one going into high school. I have 1 fur baby. When I married my husband, I won the in-law lottery. I can’t believe the amazing family he was raised in and grew up in. I have the best in-laws a person could wish for. The aunts, uncles and cousins are also part of the amazing blessing. Our family is very diverse.
