Wendy and her husband Tim, an insurance coverage attorney-turned-teacher, spend all of their “free” time attempting to keep up with their two young sons, Daniel and Samuel. Although Daniel is probably no more active than most toddlers, it sure seems that way – at 2 years old he already had a slip and fall resulting in a fractured leg under his belt.One can only imagine how his younger brother will manage to top that.
