That's me holding Corbin, one of my grandchildren.

Some Personal Information:

First let me begin by telling you a little bit about myself. I am a 53 year old wife, mother and grandmother. I have been happily married to Larry, the one love of my life for 34 years. We have three lovely grown children and twelve grandchildren. And to answer a question I have been asked many times, "Yes, I have delivered some of those grandchildren, six of them to be exact."

I am especially pleased that my youngest daughter Jessica is also a midwife. She and I work together. Jessica fills in for me occassionally at prenatals and she also assists me at most births and provides back up care as it is needed.

Hobbies I enjoy are arts and crafts including crocheting. I also enjoy web design. This website is one of several that I have designed and manage. I also enjoy taking pictures of my grandchildren and video. I've even produced my own TV commercials.
