You live in Bethesda and have the perfect family that you always dreamed of....two active, handsome boys and eventually that long desired daughter. Jack is at an awkward, lanky stage and he bravely endured middle school, but you are all feeling a bit anxious about the fact that he will be starting high school this year. He has a few friends you find questionable, but it makes you happy to see him have fun when some days he just seems so withdrawn. You have been hosting a lot of overnights for him this summer in hopes of monitoring what is going on in his life, but also occasionally seeing him joke around and laugh.

Ben is going into fourth grade and he is at a pleasant stage of life. You spend a lot of time trekking him to soccer practices and games. He's on a travel team and he loves it. His needs are simple: food, sleep, and soccer. He is an average student, never gets in trouble at school, and just seems to glide through life.

Charlotte is six and quite the little prima donna. You have decorated her room twice in the past two years. First in pink and green polka dots and most recently in blue and purple  animal prints because she was upset by how "babyish" the previous color scheme was. Although Charlotte wields a lot of power in your family, she also makes all of you laugh on a regular basis and Christmas is still a fun holiday because she fully embraces the whole Santa thing. Jack even gets into it and last year he climbed up on the roof to make the clopping sounds of reindeer that thoroughly convinced her that the man in red is alive and thriving. Charlotte is confident, outgoing, and competitive. You have no worries about her as an adult, but you do worry about the teen years.

Your house in Edgemoore is tastefully decorated with a well manicured lawn and a bright red door. Your friends envy everything that seems to come so easy to you, but it hasn't always been so easy. You have worked hard, your husband has worked hard and still works very long, stressful hours, and you have a nagging fear that it could all come crumbling down overnight. You maintain a happy couple facade in public, but the two of you fight frequently about money and financial decisions. Your husband is a bigger risk taker, while you feel safer following the more conservative route. You have a loveable, drooling black Lab named Max and you enjoy your long morning walks with him, because that gives you time to sort out the details for each day. Your typical summer vacation plans include time at Cape Cod but this year, you are all headed to the Grand Canyon and you are dreading the fiasco it will be, especially with Jack's moodiness, but it's something you and your husband always wanted to do with the kids and it is clear they are growing up quickly. Under your bed, you keep a stash of journals you kept at various times of your life. Nothing too racy or revealing, just rants and observations about daily life. You recently returned to writing each morning after your walk with Max and you want to take a class at the Bethesda Writing Center, but hesitate to do that because you aren't really a writer and you worry about being critiqued, especially by "real" writers. You used to play tennis at the Club, but you had a falling out with one of the regulars and just didn't feel like dealing with all of that cattiness anymore. Even though you are ordinarily pretty shy, you do enjoy starting up conversations with strangers in bookstores, on trains, and sometimes even in the grocery store. This embarrasses your kids, but it makes you feel good to make those connections, especially with someone of a different color. You live for your diet Coke, your annual girls trip to South Florida, and you secretly think about getting a pixie cut or finally just letting your hair go grey, but you know you will never do either one.
