Reeves Family: Twin Triumphs and Trials and our Cancer Journey
Hi, I’m Katelyn! I’m 31, a wife, a mom to 4 little ones, and an elementary school teacher. Michael and welcomed twin girls into our family about a year ago and I’m still battling a breast cancer diagnosis, which I received in October of 2024 when I was 20 weeks pregnant with the twins.
