We are aunt and uncle to 17 nieces and nephews who eagerly await the arrival of our child. We love playing outdoor games and sports, Play-Doh and Legos, and reading stories with them. Jim is the youngest of six siblings, and Rosemarie and her two siblings are part of a large, close, extended American family. A holiday celebration or family barbecue is a noisy affair with children running and lots of laughter. We are lucky that most of our family members live nearby, and we love to visit and spend time with our siblings' families in California, Illinois, and New York. Many of our friends have young children who are looking forward to having a new playmate!
