A few years ago, Jenn's sister Rory lost her husband Dan, who died of a heart attack. Rory was left to raise her three daughters, Gretchen, Bridget, and Kendra, all by herself. To top it off, last year, the company Rory works for relocated to Jenn's town. Rory wasn't in the best financial shape at that time, and she could not afford to purchase a new house. Kevin and Jenn talked about it, and figured that the more that lived in their house, the more fun it would be! They already had 9 people living there, what were 4 more? Kevin and Jenn fixed up a few rooms upstairs and the Tamewitz kids just have so much fun with their cousins, the Bonaddio's.
Katrina and Eliza helped get Gretchen used to life at Durington High School. Although Katrina is around 6 months older than Gretchen, they are still in the same grade (11th). Katrina has a wonderful boyfriend, Kent, and they've been dating for almost 2 years. Whenever Gretchen first came, Katrina introduced her to Kent's cousin, Shawn, and they hit it off. They're dating now, too! Shawn and Kent come from such a nice family, and they all get along great. Brogan and Eliza still have the same group of friends, which is nice. Brogan plays football and Eliza is a cheerleader, and they are in 10th grade.
Bridget, Kieran and Ethan go to Durington Middle School, where Kieran and Ethan are in 7th grade and Bridget is in 6th. She has made plenty of new friends as well, and is a social butterfly! She is very active. Her new favorite sport is soccer, and she plays for the school. The twins are both still very into baseball and play both for the Durington league and a travel league. The twins have many of the same friends and are both a little shy.
Ainsley is doing great in 5th grade and can't wait to go to middle school next year. She is a bookworm, sometimes we can't get her to put them down to come to dinner! She is very intelligent and always has a new fact for us.
Kendra and Audrey are both in elementary school as well - Kendra is in 2nd grade and Audrey in 1st. Kendra plays soccer, like Bridget, and is developing well! Audrey wants to try cheerleading, like Eliza, and dance, and soccer, and, well, just about everything! She still enjoys Chinese culture and speaks a little of it. Once a week we cook Chinese food and eat with chopsticks. It's fun!
As you can see from the picture below, yes, we moved into an even bigger house! Gretchen, Eliza, and Katrina share a room, Kevin and I, Rory gets her own, Brogan, Kieran and Ethan share, Bridget and Ainsley share, and Audrey and Kendra share as well. We have a total of 6 bedrooms! You can imagine what the bathrooms are like in the morning. The girls tend to argue sometimes about who gets the straightener or shower first, but we have schedules fixed up and plenty of outlets for everyone!
Rory and I's mom has been such a huge help over the past year - with Rory and the girls' move, then everyone's move into an even bigger house - it was crazy! Plus there are so many of us. Mom comes over every now and then to help get the kids ready for school.
Kevin still works as an actuary for Morrison Insurance Company. He really enjoys his job and is such a great husband. He still enjoys playing softball with his friends, and getting together to watch football (like all guys do!) He takes great pride in his family and in his work around the house. What more could I ask for?
Rory has found a new job as a nurse at Children's Hospital, but they like it so much with us that they don't want to move!
Check out some of our family photos below!
