about meMy oldest son loves his box full of shells. The shells are from all over the world. Some are from his dad's work trips, some he found himself on different beaches, and others are from his grandparents. He treasures them all. My oldest son is five, and my younger one is two. They have the unique opportunity to explore the world with their parents. I am a former special education teacher, my husband is a pilot. They also happen to be born into an international marriage. Dad is American, and mom is German. We live in St. Paul, Minnesota and frequently travel to Europe. I hope my two boys will treasure all of our adventures just like my oldest treasures his shells.
