Meet the Family

The Jilb, married to Reinman and a mother of four, loves to read, bake, and drink coffee. She is constantly searching for that ever elusive prize — a moment of silence in each day.

Reinman loves God, his wife and kids, Wiffle ball, Star Wars, reading, writing, and Coke (in approximately that order).  He is currently working as a college writing instructor.

Our oldest child, the Princess, is a sensitive, caring four-year-old who loves watching the Toy Story movies, reading books, and playing with her Star Wars action figures. She also loves to dance and make up her own songs, which usually are about the consequences of not being her friend. (So, I guess don’t let that “sensitive, caring” thing completely fool you.)

Our boy twin, the Bear, is a hulking, rambunctious two-year-old who loves to play and get into trouble. He also loves to trail and copy the Princess. But above all, this bear’s favorite thing to do is eat treats and drink juice sippies.

Our girl twin, the Joker, is funny, full of life, and just a wee bit crazy. This two-year-old brings her stuffed pink lamb with her everywhere and walks around exactly like the Joker does after he blows up the hospital in The Dark Knight.  (Hence, her nickname. And yes, we know that’s a picture of Harley Quinn. It’s the closest we could get to “girl Joker.”)

Our youngest, the Baby, is so cute and lovable. Just one smile from her, and you wouldn’t think twice about giving up iced coffees (or any of your other favorite things) for the rest of your life. Needless to say, she’s the most formidable of the bunch.

  1. You certainly hit the nail on the head with each description! Nicely said……


  2. […] They told me I was fortunate to have had a child before the diagnosis because who knew what kind of irreparable damage the treatment might cause. Ha. […]


  3. Our five year old is also a huge Star Wars fan. That and dinosaurs. She plays with a combination of my old SW action figures, a dinosaur playset, and her Polly Pockets – it is a strangely awesome sight to behold. She too longs for a lightsaber, but would apparently settle for the force grip as I at times catch her clutching the air at me making a buzzing “force” noise (as she sees it).
