...is for Curtis. I met my husband while I was dating his friend back in 1998. He too was dating someone else - we were introduced and became friendly acquaintances. In February 1999, I ran into him again and our situations had changed. He asked for my number and the rest is history. :0)
...is for Corinn Iyanna. My youngest of 3 - the most headstrong of them all! Miss Independent all the way, yet so sweet and affectionate. She's 3 1/2 right now - what a fun age! Her imagination soars and she's always eager to bring everyone else into her world. Her favorite pretend games lately are 'order' (where she's a waitress), photographer (wonder where she gets her love for taking pictures from?), and of course mommy (sometimes human, sometimes animal) & mommy chats on her cell a LOT. :0) We call her Skinny Rinny because she's so thin & dainty, but she's still very tall and has an athletic build. When Curtis and I try to imagine what our kids will be like when they get older, we see Corinn as an athletic, strong-willed, determined young lady but still very girly and sweet. What a perfect balance! :0)
...is for Curtis Jr. & Corey. I met my step-sons when they were just 7 & 8 years old - this past August, they turned 15 and 16! No longer boys, but young men now - and believe me, they'll make sure you know it. Curtis & Corey live with their mother (Curtis' ex-wife) in northern VA. They don't visit nearly enough any more - I guess there are more important/exciting ways to spend your weekend at that age. And unfortunately, our relationship with their mother is strained. We'd love for them to come live with us full time (we've been begging for this for ages) and we hope that now that they're older, they might make this decision on their own. High school years are such important ones and we feel that they would really benefit from being with their dad full time right now. Regardless, we're proud of the new responsibilities they're taking on. Curtis Jr. has a part-time job now and is working on getting his driver's license. Corey is also trying to get a worker's permit so that he can make some cash of his own. They're such smart, sweet boys and their little brother and sisters adore them! I know that the feeling is mutual - they are such great big brothers - they love teaching Jaden how to 'hang with the big boys' and toting their little sisters around. :0)
