I guess I should have done this yesterday....A brief introduction is in order.
We are the "D" family (I sometimes think that the D does, in fact, stand for dysfunctional).
I guesss, I will introduce myself first. I'm Shannon. My friends call me Shan....actually, only my husband and a couple of really close friends call me Shan, but feel free. I won't even begin to tell you what the rest of the world calls me.....I can be a bit opinionated and mouthy!!!! I am a quick-tempered, fast-talking, slightly sarcastic, fiecely protective mother of 3, who loves to read, go shopping, take long walks, and play with my kids. I tend to put up a wall and try to make people believe that I am tougher than what I am, but I am really just a tender heart.
Enough about me....onto my husband, Dave.
Dave and I met roughly, 10 years ago. He is a hard-working, fun-loving, passionate, kind man with the most beautiful smile. Dave plays as hard as he works and is a better father than I could have imagined, and getting better everyday. He doesn't like to dicipline, but will if he has to.
Now for the kiddies......
"D" is our oldest child and my step-son. He is a loving and kind 11 year old, with a quick temper, unparalelled energy and a non-existant attention span. He loves hockey, the WWE, his friends, family and pets. He is ready and willing to try almost anything....except for anything to do with heights. He makes friends easily and loves to do anything that is outdoors.
Our middle child, "A", is my beautiful 7-year old princess. She is the most kind and gentle of children. She loves with all her heart. "A" is one of the most sensitive children I have ever met. Her little heart can be broken at the smallest of things. Like her older brother, who she adores, she loves to be outside playing with her friends. She will play with pollypockets, sidewalk chalk, barbies, etc. for hours.
Now for our youngest, and most challenging of children...."M".
"M" is a very spirited 3-year old girl. She does everything to the extremes. She knows what she likes and doesn't like, and is VERY good at making opinions known. She loves to laugh and anything that has to do with animals. And....she knows how to throw a punch!!!!
