This is a picture of my older daughter. She graduated from Harvard last year and now teaches autistic children in New York City. I am so proud of the work she does for these kids. She is passionate about learning, kind and beautiful. And I am so lucky to have her as my daughter.

This is a picture of my younger daughter. She is a sophomore at Northeastern University, which makes me really happy as she is only a short drive away. She landed an incredible job this summer working for a bio tech company doing things I couldn't even understand. She is funny and amazingly talented. Her Northeastern club Girls' Hockey team was number one in the country last year. We are really excited about their upcoming season.

This is my husband. He loves any sport. I think he would watch thumb wrestling if they showed it on TV.
He is very smart so I hate playing games with him because he always wins. He is my best friend. |

This is my mother.
My mother used to tape down her bangs when they were wet so they would stay straight when they dried.
She often forgot the tape was there.
Today she is a high-powered, highly-paid consultant and taught all three of us from an early age that we could be anything we wanted to be if we worked hard enough.

This is my father. Because of his geneaological research, the story of The Sacrifice was discovered and written. Here my father holds me by my feet. My father is a jet pilot and an engineer. Only an engineer could figure out this might work with a baby.

This is my sister Lauren. That was her then.
|
|
This is her now.
She actually is a tanker pilot and was the inspiration for my book Pilot Mom which came out in the summer of 2003 from Charlesbridge Publishing.

This is my nephew. He is the very best athlete that ever lived. At least that's what he tells me.

This is my niece. She is the smartest kid I ever met and can read a book faster that I can talk - which is pretty fast.

This is my sister Mara. She is younger than I am, although most people have to ask, which makes me happy and her mad. She is my soulmate and knows me best of all.
 Once when I was forty-two, she caught me talking to myself and making faces during a play.
(Talking to yourself is fine when you are eight but not so good when you are forty-two). She thinks this is funny and will not let me forget it.
But now I can have the last laugh as this is my website so I can tell you about the time she walked through the Capitol in Washington, DC and did not know that her skirt was hitched up and caught in her pantyhose.

This is my uncle. He dressed like a Native American one Thanksgiving to surprise my daughter. She loved it – as you can see.
My uncle would do anything you ask of him - as evidenced by this picture!
