Bobi and Bill's extended family includes a total of 17 grandchildren, including Stephen and Dani, and one great-grandchild. Stephen and Dani have lived with Bobi and Bill for nearly twelve years, all of them aboard a sailboat, as Bill is their legal guardian.

We are using the Calvert School in Maryland as a home-school provider, as it has high international recognition and regard. Of course, everything becomes a lesson aboard a boat, and Stephen knows a lot about engines, epoxy, radio waves, plumbing,  woodwork and was just certified as an S.C.U.B.A. Open Water Diver; Dani is also interested in everything and doesn't like to be left out of any lesson.

We have spent 13 weeks over the summers of '99 and '00, touring the country, visiting 48 states, five provinces of Canada, and logging over 30,000 miles. The six of us, cats included, found that we love traveling together, so we're eager to begin our world tour!

The newest members of the family are Forest Holbrook, born to Kirk and Sherrie in Augusta, Maine on June 27, 2003, and  Kailea Hogerhuis, born to John and Angela on November 13, 2003, in Anaheim, California.
