One Bigger Happy Family

In the winter of 2010, we moved from my homeland of Florida to be close to John’s family in Westport, CT.

I moved with my son Slade, 6 at the time, my husband John, and my Mom and Dad.

Like I said before, my parents said there would be no way we were going to take their only grandson away!

We moved into a small rental home and hunkered down for the worst winter the northeast had seen in a decade.

I shut my eyes tightly and woke up in the middle of a giant snowdrift and without the proper shoes to boot, no pun intended.
