Cindy and her husband Joe keep busy with their two cute daughters and their family activities. Their eldest daughter just graduated from high school; the younger daughter has one more year to go. How time flies!
The family is very active with such activities as boating, water and snow skiing, traveling to San Carlos to enjoy their place on the beach and, of course, keeping up with school homework and horseback riding lessons.
