Let Me Introduce Myself


My name is Bob. I live in a great town and have a wonderful family. I have been married to my wife, Kristin, for 8 years and we have 3 beautiful daughters. Our oldest, Lauren, is five years old, has Autism, and very curious about life. Our middle child, Ellie, is a princess and a girly-girl. Our youngest, Shannon, looks like a minature version of me.

Our lives are a little different than other families. I work nights while Kristin works days. I am home with the girls during the day, which can be fun at times and stressful at other times.
Kristin and I are Christians. We plan on raising our kids to love Christ, too. (Ultimately, it is their choice and not something we can force them to do.) Going to church is hard at times, though, due to Lauren's Autism. We have been at churches that are very accepting of it and we have been at others that expect her to be able to do everthing the regularly functions kids do, including sitting still and being quiet during an church service geared towards adults. We have also been told Autism doesn't exist and it is a result of her unrepented sins. Finding a church is difficult, and we are still looking.
