Introducing... the ladder climbers

In this corner: the fierce Outremer Family. In the family there is:

  • The mighty "Leo". Husband to one; father of two (and one on the way); pet owner of 4 fish and 1 dog; and a truly devote Catholic.
  • The fantastic "Maria". Proud wife of one amazing man; a rocking the cradle Catholic mother of two (and baking one on the way :); youth minister to many awesome middle school and high school youth; and a master of the art of garage sale hunting!
  • The little "Rose". An almost-two-year-old girl whose curiosity and courage sometimes gets her into mischief.
  • The tenacious "Nicholas". An almost-one-year old boy who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, especially if it's his mommy... his daddy....his "sissy"... his dog... hint, these are all code words for his bottle.
  • The small-but-growing "Blessing". At 18 weeks-old (in the womb), this little guy or gal is already very much in our family's hearts, lives, and prayers.
  • The noble "Kolbe". Newest member of our little family, our adopted 3 year-old dog.

In the other corner:

  • The 1979 thirty-ton behemoth Ronald McDonald, (also known as "Big Red"). This L-shaped rambler styled shell of a house is more than up to the challenge of becoming our home, but will do so reluctantly.

The question is: who will continue to stand at the end of each day? Who will ultimately win the war: house or home?
