Bridget

Born September 29, 1984 Age 41

The one who actually keeps this family running. Bridget is the planner, the cooker of good things, the finder of lost items, and the reason the kids have any manners at all. She somehow manages to hold down a career, raise four daughters, and still find time to read actual books. Jonathon takes full credit for marrying so far above his station.

A few more things about Bridget

She grew up in a big family herself, which is probably why a household of six feels manageable to her. Or at least she makes it look that way.

Her pot roast is the one thing everyone in the house agrees on. The recipe is on the site. You're welcome.

She has opinions about coffee (strong, black), weekends (slow), and the kids' bedtimes (non-negotiable).
