Welcome to our Chaos...

Before we get to know each other, we want to first explain the reason for starting this blog. There is no lack of personal opinions on the web these days – and there certainly no lack of advice on any given subject. That’s not what we are about. We don’t intend to brag about our perfect life or offer any profound wisdom to live your life by. We can’t even offer you our “2 cents” because we just spent it on diapers.

We are here, not for you, but for us – and God willing, someone else can take something away from our accounts of perfect chaos – of our Catholic chaos. This is just as much a tool to keep us on track as it is to share some humorous antidotes of a real life imperfect family struggling to stay in God’s grace despite the challenges of the world today. This isn't written by him or her, it is written by us - so be prepared for a less than PC discussion from time to time. We are married with 6 almost perfect children, who did everything the wrong way to get where we are today. You will learn more about out disregard for the norm if you stay with us any amount of time. But where are we today?

Married for 11 years with 6 children – if you are not already shaking your head in sympathy you should be. KR; our oldest daughter, will be turning 13 this year and drama that ensues would be enough for a dedicated blog in its self. AT; our first son, will be 10 this year. JE, daughter number 2, will be turning 8 – MA, daughter number 3 is 3 – EG will be 2, and our youngest and second son, ZD was born this year. I use initials only because, sure enough we intend to embarrass them beyond belief here – because let’s face it, where there are kids, there is chaos.

As you can guess, we are proud Catholics but that wasn’t always the case. We both came into full communion with the Church in 2011. We will discuss that journey more along the way. Welcome to our Chaos…
