Seventeen years ago, Colin and his family moved down the road from my family. Seventeen years ago!!! So yeah, I can’t even believe that I’m writing this right now.

I remember when they first moved to town. I was a senior in high school at the time and there was buzz around church there was to be a new family coming with quadruplets AND twins. At the time, I didn’t even know what having quadruplets meant, in human form, nor did I fully grasp […]
