Introductions To The Family

I guess I should start this out with introducing you to the members of my family since this is a family based blog. My husband and I have been married for five years in August. This is my husbands 2nd marriage and when I married him I was blessed with 4 wonderful step children. Shaquan is 17, he is the All-American athlete. He plays football and basketball but has big dreams of huge success outside of sports. I look at him and I know he has what it takes to achieve those goals if he keeps his eyes on his goals. Next is Jermaine, he always has a way to make you laugh and plans on going to school for culinary arts. I can so see him on Food Network one day with one of those cooking shows, cracking jokes as he prepares a meal. Then there is Atiya who is blooming into a beautiful young women, which is scary for me. I look at her and I want the best for her. I can already see the "I know everything" attitude starting to rear it's ugly head. I wish she could learn through my mistakes but I know she will have to make her own. Then there is Taijana, our little firecracker. Taijana thrives on her daddy's attention and loves to help me bake. She's as tough as nails but as delicate as a flower. Together my husband and I have 2 kids a 4 year old boy, Jahvar-Zion, who is a bundle of energy. He loves sports- any and all sports! But his favorite by far is basketball. He loves going to his big brothers games and watching him play. Then there is our latest addition, Lillee-Anna Grace, who is named after my late grandma Grace Lillian and the spelling of her name is to tie in all the other  important women in her life. She is the apple of her daddy's eye and honestly the cutest kid I have ever seen with her jet black hair and big round eyes, I always tell her God but in over time on her because she is so adorable! There is another child that belongs in our family but has been separated from her father for a very long time. Her entire family including her father and I have been searching for her for years but even despite today's technology all leads have come to a dead end. We pray that one day God will bring her into our lives.
