Resume

 
  Family (click here for more pictures)  
  My immediate family consists of my husband(Pierre), my step son(Chris) and two daughters(Ashley and Britney). The family also includes a cat (Dora) and a dog (Lucy).  
  Fun and Games

In the summer we spend a lot of time either boating on Lake Michigan or at my parents old shack in Eagle River, Wisconsin.

We also like to walk, bike or roller blade by the lake.

I am looking forward to taking my mountain bike to Wisconsin. I found some great trails in the Nicolet National Forest.

I enjoy sewing. As the girls are growing I am sewing a great deal more.
