ABOUT THE FAMILY
This is an active, faith-centered family that prioritizes kindness, responsibility, and joy. Their two older children have unique personalities:
• G9 is a social butterfly with a love for musical theatre, voice lessons, and soccer. She is nurturing and empathetic but also sensitive.
• B7 is a sports enthusiast who loves building puzzles and has a focused, reserved nature. He takes time to warm up but is incredibly loyal once he does.
• Baby (4 months) is growing and developing, requiring gentle and attentive care.
The children attend a small Christian school, and the family is intentional about their values. While they allow some screen time, they are conservative about media exposure. Their two dogs also add to the household dynamic—one is outgoing and friendly, while the other is more reserved but equally lovable.
