All My Children

Growing up, I knew I always wanted to be a mother. In fact, my goal was to have at least 4 kids. After going through labor with Natalie, I wanted to stop there. But, David and I both agreed that we should have at least two so that Nat would have someone to play with. So we stopped after Tyler. The past couple of weeks, I’ve gotten a good dose of having 4-5 kids. Although, skip to – the twenty somethings. We’ve got David’s niece who’s in between undergrad and grad school living with us and a couple weeks ago, Birdie moved in with us from LA after getting a job up here and can’t afford bay area rent. Then we have Willy who’s still on summer break and recently orphaned (kind of) with her mom traveling in Asia with my mom and her dad (Yee Gong) in the hospital. And then there’s Uncle Chubs, who’s still in So Cal for Pharmacy school, but comes home on occasional weekends for some TLC. My house is full of kids big and small. The dining table is always full. It’s nice taking care of all these “kids”, but I get tired too! Natalie and Tyler love it when people are over at our house. I’m glad they do because I grew up around lots of cousins, uncles, and aunts too. We’re one big happy family

    You’re one of the lucky ones. Mike and I are here in Vegas by ourselves. Sometimes we get visitors. It’s nice to see you so close to your cousins and friends.
