Hey, I’m Andrea …

I’m born and raised in Dallas, TX. More specifically my childhood house is about a mile from my current house and my kids will all graduate from the same high school I attended.

I’ve been married to Joe for 16 years (he’ll show up on my feed even if he has no social media of his own) we have 3 kids and a #goldendoodle named Woodrow (namesake is #lonesomedove not the president).

Our oldest is Ella. Our 14-year-old joy with #cerebralpalsy. Her story is ALL over our pages, so feel free to check out how we got here and how it’s going. She’s typical in attitude, super sweet and now a freshman cheerleader on a special squad. There is no indication that she won’t live a long life, stick around as we learn what that looks like at each turn.

William, our middle, is really more like the oldest (if you are into #birthorder). He’s been taller than the charts as long as we can remember, and at 12-year-old stands at 6’2”. We are guessing he’ll slow down at some point, but he loves playing center in basketball, so we are grateful God has written that into his story.

Jonathan brings up the rear at 10-years-old and is a lover and a fighter. He is passionate and delightful ... and hysterically funny, but has a major competitive streak.

We live in a house we custom built tor all of Ella’s needs. Ramps, roll-in shower and an elevator all so that she is able to live life to the fullest. This house has been a gift and is right in the perfect neighborhood for the boys.

We are very active in our church, but more importantly try to BE the church in our lives. Christ is central to who we are both individually and as a family. Hopefully you’ll see that evident as you hang out with us here.

Oh, and we are both self-employed entrepreneurs! Joe’s new adventure starts this year (it’s still under wraps till it’s ready) and I have been with a #socialselling business for 7 years and it’s been our main income for the past 4 years. Oh, don’t you worry, I’ll talk about it more!

That’s us!
