About Me


My husband and I are both self employed, so we're either terribly busy working for clients or playing catchup to finish ongoing projects around the house and spending time with our kids.
I just published a children's book on autism with some very talented people. It's available now. Part of the proceeds goes to the Autism Society of North Central Indiana, South Bend chapter. You can find out more about it on the Appreciating Autism MySpace or the actual Appreciating Autism website .
We now have 3 daughters!
Bella is a first grader who plays piano with a healthy desire to play guitar. She sings all the time and loves to dance and do yoga with Jillian. She loves playing the Wii - you can't beat her in bowling or baseball. She loves salad and hates pizza and anything made with potatoes.
Jillian celebrated her 3rd birthday this year! She is quite entertaining and loves to sing and play dress up. She loves tomatoes, bananas, breads, and olives. Strange, we know. Her favorite things to do are puzzles and also enjoys Legos and beads.

Kailee was born in February, and her big personality is starting to show. So far she likes to sleep and eat and just be adorable. When she gets all worked up, her tiny little cry sounds like a little bug having a fit. So cute. ..
