My husband, Dave, and I have two children, Paul and Evelyn (we call her Evy). A lot of my free time is spent helping at their schools, but I also love to jog (my goal is to do a triathalon in the near future), cook (yes, sometimes I jog while watching the Food Channel), and do Do-It-Yourself projects around the house. I am also a voracious reader, mostly of novels that make me cry. I am lucky to have a husband and kids who share the same interests, except for reading books that make you cry, so you can often find us walking or biking to the ice-cream store. As a family, we have peeled wallpaper, removed tile floors, and built play-houses.
