The Official Post About Your Family Thread

My wife is a SLP, works in schools doing speech and therapy for kids on the autism spectrum and with speech disorders.

We have one son, he will be two in May. He is always busy, and always wants to "go workin" with me. We do a lot of construction projects on the house together. I think we are pretty much best friends at this point. We have our second on the way! This is my first time telling anyone outside the family about that, my wife is due in October!

We live in bountiful Utah in the winters, and Jackson hole in the summer. I run a rafting company that is owned by the great salt lake council BSA. We are currently getting our house ready to sell in order to move closer to work full time. That and we decided we like small town living, so we are going to try out teton valley, idaho for a while.

I'm 31, my wife is 29. We got married young and did a bunch of fun stuff before we had kids. We are LDS. The reason we stay LDS is because we love our family together and want to be together forever.
 
My wife is a non-Utahn. She stays at home with the kids. We have three boys. Our oldest is 6 and in 1st grade. He likes a lot of things I like, such as the Jazz, Back to the Future and Ghostbusters. He likes sports. Our next is 4.5. He's not much into sports. However, he really wanted a Jazz bear when we went to the Celtics game while we were in Utah. He's pretty lazy but says some funny stuff. Our youngest is almost 8 months. He's been the most mellow of all of them. He's always happy.
 
I post TMI about myself and my family as it is, I don't want to create a one-stop shop for identity thieves to gather info on me.

Two parents, two brothers. Family of five.

My family escaped a politically tumultuous Yugoslavia (long, & interesting story) in the early 90s, escaping to Germany. Fortunately, we got out before the Kosovo War started. I was born in Germany. We moved to Canada when I was two years old. My mother helped bring many of my relatives over from Kosovo to Canada towards the end of the 90s.

I'm 21, my older brother is 23, my younger brother is 13.

My father got a job as an entry-level machinist at an oil-pump company here in Edmonton 20 years ago, and he now has the 3rd highest position in the company (firm of >100 employees). My mother is a teacher's assistant, who works with Special Needs children. My older brother and myself both went to University on student loans. My older brother finished his business degree, and just secured a full-time job at a bank in Calgary doing investment banking-- he's making more money in his first year on the job than my dad is making after 20 years & multiple raises. Ha. I often feel like my family kinda pulled off a 21st century "American Dream", in Canada-- which seems to be rare these days.

My family means an enormous amount to me. We're truly as tight-knit as they come. We've been through lots together, and I feel like nothing can rip us apart.

I have a feeling that whole "coming out" thing might do the trick.
 
My two daughters are smarter than I was at age 15, and they are 4 and 7 respectively. I assure you, they didn't get it from me.

Lol. Nah-- my mom has always said that she'd love us the same no matter what our sexual orientation is. God bless her. And my dad is too passive to even give a **** about anything that I do with my life.

I am The Walrus.
 
I'm 36, been married for 15 years this June. Have 5 kids: #1 (girl, almost 11) plays competitive level soccer and refuses to quit to try anything else. #2 (boy, 7) plays anything with a ball. Doesn't want to play anything on the competitive level so he can keep playing everything. He's very gifted athletically and comes by it all naturally. He also is a junior brown belt 3rd degree in kajukembo style Kung Fu. Both of them are advanced in school and completely healthy. They fight like cats and dogs with each other. #3 (girl, almost 5) goes to preschool and does dance, which is her calling in life. #4 (boy, 3) is our tornado in a bottle. We have literally caught him swinging from the dining chandelier on several occasions. The drawer under our oven no longer works correctly because he uses it as a stepping stool. These two are only about 13 months apart in age and are the best of friends. Both seem to be advanced for their ages and are also healthy. #5 (boy, 8 months) eats, poops, sleeps, and cries. Wife is a SaH mother. I'm an electrician.
