the Albaeck family

Jacob: He enlisted in the US Army in July 2008 and left for basic training at the end of December. He graduated from Military Police OSUT in May 2009 and Airborne school in June 2009. Now he's part of the 108th MP CO (Airborne/Air Assault) at Fort Bragg. Deployment #1 to Iraq is now underway.

Jennifer: She's a stay-at-home mom to four. Her days are filled with trips to Target (almost daily!), cleaning, laundry, and laughter.

Christopher: He's seven and enjoying his role as the oldest in the Albaeck house. He's in second grade this year and thriving. In his free time he loves playing outside with his friends and has a newfound love for baseball.

Nicholas: Just turned six and is still quite the handful! He's in kindergarten this year and LOVES going to school with Christopher AND getting to eat lunch there. He loves to talk and would be content to chat ALL DAY LONG about John McCain (his idol), the weather (cumulonimbus clouds), or whatever random thing is on his mind.

Benjamin: He's four and the baby boy of the house. He's a sweetheart but he's starting to assert his independence and is becoming a bit of a handful.  He's in preschool this year and loving it!  He loves playing with "Sesie" and doing anything related to Mickey Mouse.

Alexandra: AKA "Lexie" or "Sesie". She just turned three and definitely rules the house. She talks up a storm and is VERY opinionated, but is our sweet little baby, all at the same time.  She started taking ballet lessons this year and loves to put on a show!
