My Family Has Grown! All About My Recent Wedding.

On August 7/14, I finally got remarried after 8 years of being single. I have 4 great boys, ages 17,19, 21 and 23. They have been living with me since October 2008, except for my oldest son, who stayed on in Israel and served in their special forces. He will be returning to the USA this November and plans on going to NOVA and then on to university to hopefully study industrial engineering. The younger 3 are in various colleges or universities – coding engineering, or computer sciences, so far.

My new wife, Judy, does Thai massage (yes she takes appointments at my office for a super 90 minute Thai massage. Please see my web site for further details on what makes Thai massage unique) Judy also brings 3 girls, ages 11, 14 and 19 into my life. Never having dealt with girls as children, it is a bit different but not as taxing or rough (so far, as I had dreaded). They are actually really good to me.

Presently, living in our house, are Judy and me, her 11 year old daughter and my 17 year old son. the other kids drop in fairly regularly, despite the distance, which is great.

We had a lovely small wedding of about 55 people at a dear friends house. We had a backyard wedding accompanied by our professional guitar player (our friend Miguel Bard). A few days later, for our “honeymoon”, we took all 7 kids and 2 dogs (my German Shepherd and her poodle/bichon mix) to Hatteras Island for a week. What is really incredible, is that all the kids get along perfectly and love referring to each as step brothers and sisters. Whenever I mention my new marriage to patients, the inevitable Brady Bunch comparison is made!
