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

What scares you?

"Lightning, which every one should have a healthy fear of." - Michael

When we argue, what’s it about?

"How to use a laundry basket. I think the clothes go inside, while he argues that they belong in a pile on the floor next to the basket." - Becca

Dogs or cats?

"As an adult, I have lived with both dogs and cats and have loved each animal. The curiosity and energy of dogs reminds me of a small child with all their questions. Meanwhile, cats remind me of teenagers: more emotionally separate, giving a vibe of indifference to their parents, but still worth loving." - Alex

Favorite season and why?

"my favorite season is fall, because the changes of colors and is the most romantic season of the year" - Manuel Rodriguez

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

My favorite place in the World is...

"Philadelphia. Whenever I’m coming back from being out of town and first see the city skyline, I feel an immediate sense of being home. If I had to pick somewhere I don’t live, I’d say Galway, Ireland, specifically around Christmas. Everyone is so cheerful and welcoming - Sam and I talk about going back all the time!" - Bob
