I love watching them learn and figure things out. They all do it at their own pace, in their own way, and often so different than their twin or other siblings.

Newsletter: Alysia

Board Responsibilities: I create our seasonal newsletters! I look at all of the event over the last season and put them in a Google pages doc and make it look cute and uniform.

Funny parenting moment: With 4 kids, there have definitely been many! Most recently, my 6 year old had a kink in her neck and I work as a massage therapist at a luxury resort. I asked her if she wanted a massage and she said, yes please. I began to massage her and she said, “wow mom! You’re way better at this than dad.” To which I said, “well I hope so! This is actually what I do EVERYDAY that I go to work!” Her eyes widened and she said, “mom, you’re a legend.” I have been given many compliments on my technique, but nothing could ever compare to being told that my skills are “legendary” by one of my daughters.

Favorite family tradition: In 2020, my oldest asked me if limos were extinct and it birthed one of our favorite family traditions! Each December, all of my family rents a party bus, we put all of the kids in Christmas pj’s and we go look at Christmas lights around Sonoma County. We’ve named our crew “The Itty Bitty Light Committee”, catch us in a festive party bus near you!

If there was one parent duty that you would never have to do again, what would it be? Easy… LAUNDRY! I actually enjoy each step EXCEPT putting it away… why is that the hardest part?!

Favorite part of raising multiples: So far, I just love being able to watch them grow together. I still catch myself watching them in awe just running around the house. Their little language, the way the kiss and hug (or throw hands and fight), and their obsession with shoes.. I love it all!

Media: Barbara

Funny parenting moment: Playing whats in the box. This is when my husband and I try to guess what our kids shoved into their 8X8 box. 9 times out of 10 we are wrong. Once they managed to stuff a full on stuffed animal into the box along with 8 other things, how they did that I still have no clue.

Favorite family tradition: Going to the children's museum and Sonoma train town.

If there was one parent duty that you would never have to do again, What would it be? Laundry 100%

Favorite part of raising multiples: The constant adventure, the smiles, the laughter and watching their bond grow. My favorite thing is watching them build their bond and play with one another.
