Waiting Families

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"A sailboat, or any boat in general. My family grew up with a boat and being "on the water" is where I feel the most at peace. During the summer, we actually lived on our boat and "sailed" from one marina to the next in the New York and New England area where we were able to see many different towns and boating communities. The sea air is freeing and calming. From a young age, my parents have instilled the importance of boating and water safety. Swimming and boating lessons were a necessity if we were to be on the water as a family. Being on the water isn't just an activity, it is an experience and to this day, brings me so much excitement. I also love boating because I know that this is an activity that Jackie also loves, as her family has generations of fisherman. Although we do not have a boat now, we hope to carry on our families boating traditions. We still enjoy water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and just sitting at the beach, enjoying the sun and waves." - Caroline

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

"Duncan, my kids, and cheesecake." - Becca

Favorite season and why?

"Although I like winter and spring, I prefer autumn even more. Apple cider and apple butter conjure up fond memories from childhood. The morning frosts promise winter and the potential for skiing. The shortening days mean I can stop worrying about outdoor projects and retreat inside. Of course, the changing leaves provide more variety of color than at any other point in the year." - Alex

My philosophy on parenting is...

"That it should be child centered, based on their needs. I belive in being a kind and supportive parent that is always there for my child and to teach them how to navigate the world while being a good person." - Alyssa

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs! Bob and I have two rescue pups, Murphy and Ralph, who bring so much joy to our lives. Their love is so pure, and there's something deeply humbling about being the recipient of such boundless loyalty and affection. What I love most is how intuitive they can be. Always ready to offer comfort and snuggles when we need it most, our dogs never fail to brighten even the toughest of days." - Sam
