You might have noticed that I’ve been talking more concretely about my kids lately. This has been a bit of a hard decision. Should I write about them at all? Is it a violation of my family’s privacy? What about using their names? For a while now, I’ve wanted to tell you more about them. I know that I could invent aliases, but it doesn’t feel natural to me to do that. So I’ve been using their names.
After my last post, I received a lot of comments from readers who were clearly confused about who Gabe is. I think I need to back up and tell you about my family.
Geoff and I have been married for almost 13 years. Our daughter, Anna, is seven. Our older son, Gabe, is five, and Nate, our baby, is almost two. They are funny, smart, great kids. I’m going to tell you more about them in future posts. Readers, I am trusting you. Please help me protect my family while I write my stories.
I appreciate your frankness and respect your choice; it’s a decision we all have to make in these tenuous times with regard to personal privacy and our families. I’ll do my best to help you safeguard your adorable family (we have an almost-7 DD and and almost-5 DS as well). 🙂
Thanks so much for the thoughtful comments, Leigh, and thanks for reading my blog!
Looks like you have your hands full…
