When we're not exploring, our children are busy with a variety of extracurriculars. The girls are close in age and share many common interests. They both play tennis—Emily placed third in the state last year—and they're on the high school yearbook staff and student council. Connor is in Cub Scouts and enjoys video games, but is quite a bookworm too.
