The Kids

The kids are a constant source of torture. All five play soccer, & basketball, and another figure skates and dances while two others play musical instuments. This means we are constantly on the go shuttling them to their activities 7 days a week.

Once in a great while they are home together and can spend time with each other---sometimes not even bickering! Click here for a photo of Matt and Nick destroying a snowman! Good clean Wisconsin fun!

	Todd, 15, is the oldest of the five kids by about a month, and, not coincidentily is the most mature of the bunch...keeps his his room the cleanest. Todd plays high school soccer, the trumpet and video games...Wants to become an architect or an engineer when he grows up.
	Nick, 15, is an outstanding soccer player and is currently on the Wisconsin Olympic Development Program team. Nick is always ready to try new things as long as it doesn't include bedroom cleanliness...Wants to become a professional soccer player when he grows up. Also a video game freak.
	Matt, 14, is the funniest of the lot and can usually keep us laughing---when he isn't making us angry with his lack of tidiness...A very kind and sensitive boy...Plays basketball, soccer, video games...Keeps his room a total mess all of the time...Wants to not be annoying when he grows up and have a hot chick for a wife.
	Sabrina, 13, might be the most talented of the kids. She plays soccer, volleyball, tennis and is a budding artist...Is going to create a lot of nervous nights for her parents and I as she is going to have more dates than Jennifer Lopez in a few years... bedroom cleanliness is non-existent.
	Melaina (a.k.a. the "Munchkin", but we can't call her that anymore) is now 11. She plays soccer, basketball, figure skates and dances...could have a career as a singer as she's very gregarious and loud enough that she wouldn't need a microphone...very bright...gets an F in bedroom cleanliness but her room is small so we cut her a little slack. She also has the brightest colored bedroom walls in the county (photos coming sometime).
