Mama Fox, aka Angela, is currently a full time mom and homemaker. She has every intention of returning to school 3/29/10 to work toward her RN. It seems that every time Mama makes a plan the universe throws something crazy at her to remind her to be flexible...and prepared for ANYTHING. The latest thing the universe has thrown Mama is 3 DVT's and Coumadin therapy. It's important to share this only because, at this time, it does come with some diet restrictions. Anything high in vitamin K is off limits, including (but not limited to) green vegetable (mostly green leafy). As you might imagine this is a bit of a road block from a nutritional standpoint. Her doctor reassures her that green veggies WILL be allowed in carefully measured and consistent portions soon. Please keep that restriction in mind. For now, most of the recipes and side dishes I serve will be low on green veggies and side salads etc will be pretty non existent.
Daddy Fox, aka Brandon, is a Petty Officer in the US Coast Guard. He is a Boatswain's Mate and loves his 'job'. He is currently filling a 4 year billet at a small boat station. He 'plays on' 25' boats...and occasionally does a few search and rescue, law enforcement and routine area of responsibility calls/patrols. *wink* Brandon's duty schedule has him home half the month and at the station the other half...unless it's summer, opening week for fishing of some kind, rose fest or any other thing that throws the schedule off. Pretty much if he's home it's a bonus. *wink*
Hadley is our guardian angel. She is forever 8 and forever our girl. She caught her "helo" to heaven on 12/12/08 after a long battle with a brain tumor. She touched our hearts in ways words can't express...and changed the lives of people she never even met (in person). We will miss her every single second of every single day. She was truly our sunshine...and continues to brighten our lives.
Keegan is 8. He is in second grade and loves, loves, loves to read. He is a sweet boy with a juge heart. I would say he has a huge brain as well but, he'd interrupt to inform me that brain size has nothing o do with intelligence. Yes he's THAT kid. *wink* We love him to pieces and are constantly amazed by his ability and eagerness to learn new concepts and absorb information. He won a character award at school this year for integrity. So, yeah, he's a good kid....on paper. In real life he still drives Mama bonkers some days. *hee hee*
Liam is 6. He is in Kindergarten. He is a charismatic little rough neck. He is sweet and funny and ALL boy. He makes friends easily and loves to be outdoors. His pre-reading skills are really blossoming. He is so proud to be sounding out just about everything he sees. I adore that he is so anxious to read. Liam loves sports and can't wait to be a 'teenager'. Just today he asked Mama how old you have to be to 'take driving lessons'. Liam, let's work on outgrowing the booster seat first. K, buddy? *wink* Liam is quite entertaining until he's not...then you want to pull your hair out. It's probably about a 50/50 split between wether he gets the time out or Mama does.
Baby Hope is our year and a half old cat. Hadley named her so, despite the urge to change her name to something that fits her better (like Murder Face or Killer) we have stuck with Baby Hope. <3>
So, there we are. As Hadley would say "Nice to meet you!".
