off-island mommy

these aren't my lucky lotto picks or my lock box combination.  they are the ages of my four guambinos, my exports from home that relocated here a year after we moved to california. far too often we get asked how we do manage such a big family.  the only way it works is that as parents we do so little for our kids and let the kids do as much as possible for themselves.  where they are capable, they are enabled.  it has worked thus far, even when jumping on beds :)
