The Halvorsen family

My husband, Mark, and I married Oct. 17, 1998. We have four amazing children living with us now, and two more on the way.

Our children:

Evelyn, almost 9, smart, sensitive, contemplative girl. She likes things organized and sensible. I often know what she is thinking, since we think a like. Evelyn loves animals, especially horses.

Dawson, 7 years old. He is ALL boy! He loves to wrestle and play at his friends' houses. He likes computer and video games. He is also an excellent reader. He has a very tough and tender side. We call him Tender Warrior.

Grace, 5 years oldShe is my sunshine girl. She is enthusiatic and excited about life. Sometimes she can hardly contain herself and I'm not sure she can talk if her hands are restrained. Grace is a snuggler and gives great hugs.

Alaina Joy is a 3 years old princess. She wears dresses or skirts every day. She is cute and bossy, definately the loudest of the bunch, which probably helps when she's also the smallest. Alaina is also a snuggler and is often seen with her yellow blankie.

We also have two other little boys that we will learn more about soon. They are currently living in Liberia, West Africa. We hope to bring them home as soon as we can.
