So now that we have already made three posts, we've suddenly realized that we haven't actually introduced ourselves. However, introducing everyone would take too long, so for the moment we'll just give you the key players. Using our code names, of course. ;)
Top billing goes to The Godfather (Dad). He was an engineer for many years, but within the last 6 years he and Mamasita have started their own financial services business under Primerica. He really enjoys helping families to get their finances in order and build a plan to get out of debt, and he's good at it, too. When he's not working, he likes to do target practice and hunting, play board games, card games, pool, golf, and the occasional first-person shooter on the computer. One thing he has never done: gone bungee jumping.
On top of being a financial adviser, Mamasita (Mom) is a professional homeschooler of 7 children with 23 years of experience under her belt. She loves anything that has to do with food: cooking, baking, eating, and occasionally killing the meat herself (hunting). In her spare time (Spare time? Yeah, right... what's that taste like?), she likes to work out to Jillian Michaels videos. One thing she has never done: piloted a commercial jet (though she did have a pilot's license once).
The oldest sibling at home is yours truly. You may call me Sergeant Pepper (not my idea, but why waste a perfectly good nickname? Besides, it's kind of a long story) or just Pepper for short. My place in the lineup is 5th child, 2nd daughter. I manage this blog as the designer, editor, administrator, and one of the writers. I'm into fiber craft (knitting, crochet, etc.), reading, baking, and doing activities with my youth group. One thing I have never done: driven a four-wheeler.
Next up we have Ribbajack (yes, just like the Brian Jacques book). He is the 6th child and 4th son. He's probably the closest thing we have to a scientist in the family. He enjoys figuring out how things work, finding new and exciting (try “explosive”) ways to do things, and debating the daylights out of anyone who tries to oppose him on a point that he has already proven. And reading. One thing he has never done: broken a bone (amazingly).
And last but not least we have Beena, the 7th child, 3rd daughter. This one is pure artsiness, people. She has a fascination with manga and anime (Japanese cartoons) and has become rather proficient at drawing them herself. We're hoping to feature some of her original artworks later on. Besides drawing, she does some knitting and a lot of reading. She has told us that she both likes and dislikes being the youngest. One thing she has never done: baked a cake by herself.
Most of us have never been to Boston in the fall, either. Anyway, this is us. You'll meet the rest of the clan as we go along.
Cheers!
