Kerrie McLoughlin's Kooky Kids

To me, this is what Life is all about. This is all I've ever wanted: marriage and kids. Maybe you think I'm crazy for having so many kids and for enjoying their presence most of the time. Maybe I think you're crazy for drinking yourself to death or for getting your tubes tied or for being a depressed, negative mess. We're all different, right? We all enjoy different things. I am in love with my kids. None of them were "surprises" ... they were all planned and welcomed. (not that surprise babies are any better or worse ... I'm just saying that Aron and I know what we're doing here and dig these kids like crazy!).

Kerrie McLoughlin's Husband

I think these two pictures say a lot about my husband Aron. I have known him for 16 years and have been married to him for almost 13. He puts up with a lot from me! I'm a bit of a firecracker, poor guy! I love how he mows with the baby and doesn't mind having all of us climbing all over him. He is the kind of guy who does things much slower than I do things, but he does them CORRECTLY and he FINISHES them. Opposites attract for sure. He also gets my blog posts by email, so I love you, babe! Have a good day at work!

Kerrie McLoughlin's Dad

This is my dad. He was about 32 days from being 21 when I was born, and I am his only child. He was in the Army and was stationed in Germany. He is adorable and funny and he is my best guy friend after my husband.

Kerrie McLoughlin's Mom

This is my mom with teeny little me. I was born about 23 days after she turned 21. I'm her only child. She's also a Gemini (see yesterday's post) and I am a lot like her. She is beautiful, she is tough and she is my best girlfriend. She delivered me in an Army hospital in Germany, and to me that is very brave.

Kerrie McLoughlin as a Baby

Welcome to June ... my month since my birthday is on the 19th and I turn 40 this year. I'm starting out this month with a picture of me at 5 weeks of age in Frankfurt, Germany, where I was born. I am a Gemini, which explains a lot. My husband thinks astrology is a bunch of hooey. You see, he has an identical twin brother and they are VERY different in my eyes. So I suppose in that case astrology is a little iffy ... they are Scorpios and my husband does not act like the typical Scorpio. But I digress. Just read up on Geminis and you will understand me completely, unfortunately.
