So, it was only natural with six children, that our house was the neighborhood hangout and sometimes place of refuge for children, neighbors and relatives who enjoyed the food, play and love shown to them continuously. The weekends often included marathon board games in the cold months, and team sporting events when it was warm. The basement is big enough to roller skate, and ride tricycles around. The house was always filled with so much love and joy that even today just walking through it, you can still feel the happiness that resonates throughout."
