The Family

Hi!  My name is Nichelle.  I am The Mom.  This is The Husband, Mark.  

We have an 11 year old (going on 16) whom I lovingly refer to as 'The Kid' but most people call her Ari.  (Technically she is my stepdaughter but this is probably the only time I'll ever use that word: she lives with us full-time, calls me 'Mom', and well, we pretty much do our own thing in this family!)  

I am 11 weeks pregnant with The Baby who currently looks like a bunny.  I have been assured it is a human.  Which is a little disappointing because I was kind of hoping it was a dinosaur.

And last, but certainly not least, there is The Dog, my sweet baby boy, my main man, my sidekick, Buddy.
