I have the privilege of being the dad of this family. I believe I have the best wife and kids in the world, which makes my job easy. God has been so good to me.
She doesn't really have a lot to do and really just sits around relaxing a lot. :-) She plays the piano at church, is the music coordinator, the nursery superintendent, homeschools the children, teaches piano lessons, helping the girls start a cleaning business, organizes the cleaning of the house, the cooking of the meals and the 20+ loads of laundry a week. Besides that she is pretty bored and looking for some hobbies to do in her spare time.
David Curtis is 18 and going to Texas Baptist College in Longview, TX. He is preparing to be a preacher and taking music classes. He is learning to play the piano, guitar and violin. He plays the guitar on "Nursery Rhymes" on the CD.
Sarah is 16 and loves babies. She takes care of the Sunday school nursery at church and babysits many children. Mom's trust her and children that "won't go to anyone" will go to her with open arms. Sarah is learning the piano and wants to learn the violin. She is the soprano.
Alyssa is 14 and enjoys scrapbooking. She has done some wonderful ones for the family and has some jobs doing them for others. She has an artistic mind and loves to play the piano. She can hardly walk by the piano without stopping by to play it. She is the alto and our blond (in mind only).
Jonathan is 12 and loves to work. He never wanted to take a nap growing up, but would rather stay up and work. He loves to work until this day. He helps clean the church, has a "Trash Can Helper" business and is "in charge" of the boys now since David is in college.
Mark is 10 and is my muscle man. He loves to do pushups, pullups, situps and climb the walls - literally. He is very tenderhearted and will ask more questions than anyone.
Darick is 8 and gets the job of playing with Laurissa. With four boys in a row, Laurissa had no one to play with. Darick will take time to play with her as long as it is not sissy stuff. He is the one singing, "Dear Jesus" on the CD.
Grant is 7 and likes to fight. Not really fighting, but wrestling. He asks almost every day if he can fight (wrestle) Darick. I supervise their wrestling only about every two weeks, and he loses most of the time, but still loves it. One day he said he wished Caleb Wipf was in our family. I thought that was sweet and asked him why? He said, "That way I could fight him." (friendly of course)
Laurissa is 6 and is my rose among all the thorns and my blossom among the possums. She is the first girl after four boys. She is incredibly sweet and loves her daddy, but will not take any flack from the boys. She is the youngest that sings on the CD.
Cameron is 4 and has a yankee accent. My mother is from Machusetts and we say he got it from her, but talks like he is from there. We are trying to convert him to being a southerner. He is our blond in true hair color. With as many children as we had, we knew the blond from my wife would come out sometime.
Janessa is 2 and a great joy. She meets me at the door with a big "daddy," wide open arms, ready for a hug and a kiss. She just got over a big case of chicken pox and looked pitiful. She wants to be as big as the other girls.
Carson just turned 1 and is so sweet. He was seven weeks early and had to stay in the hospital an extra three weeks. He is still small, but that is ok with us. He has gotten to stay a baby longer. He loves to hug and cuddle.
Princess
Princess is our dog. She is a Great Pyrenees and loves to play with the kids.
