They call their house the George Jungle. And it’s because they have three little monkeys between the ages of 2 and 6 running around, keeping Chapin and Talya on their toes.
But if you talk to Chapin, he will tell you his amazing wife is the reason the house functions as well as it does. Their family of five has got nothing on Talya, as she really knows how to stay on top of things.
She knows how to love with all her heart as well, and all three of the kids realize this. They all know how much their mom does for them, even if they each show their appreciation in different ways.
“Mom helps us with cleaning up toys,” the oldest, Huck, said. “And she helps me not get frustrated. And she’s the best mom in the world.”
Talya helps make cleanup a breeze, and she is also someone her kids can rely upon. Even at the young ages they are currently at, they each know their mom is always supporting them.
“I love her because she always snuggles with me and because she’s always helping me… I love to hug her,” Eliza Bea George (the youngest) said.
Talya’s the best hugger in their world, and Chapin can certainly attest to that.
Not only that, but Talya truly loves her kids and shows them so much compassion. She would do anything for them, and she is definitely a mama bear.
“I love her because she loves me,” Truman George said.
It is clear the George kids adore their mother. They love her for who she is and they love the fact that she is there for them. And they might also love the fact that she spoils them at times too.
But honestly, for Talya, that is because her kids are her world. There is not a thing she would not do for them, and anyone who has known her long enough knows the kids are the top priority.
In fact, Chapin said almost the entirety of their lives involve the kids, and he would not have it any other way. He loves creating core moments with the family, and he is grateful Talya is at the center of them all.
“Every day with our children serves as a great memory,” he said. “And I’ll never tire of hearing her laugh. She has a cackle that never ends. It’s actually worrisome at times because I can’t tell if she’s breathing or not.”
Talya has a great smile and an even better laugh… one that can literally take her breath away.
And then there was the time the George couple lived just outside of Nashville. It was the year that made Chapin realize there was absolutely zero chance he was letting this once-in-a-lifetime catch of a woman go, and he does not ever plan to do so.
Talya just has a great demeanor about her. She treats people right, and her personality can draw you close to her in a heartbeat.
“Talya wants to make people happy all day every day,” Chapin said. “She has a never-ending work ethic, and she wants nothing more than for her children to treat people with kindness and respect. I love how much our kids love her and how much they have learned from her. She’s beautiful inside and out. She’s strong. She’s the best friend anyone could ask for.”
You cannot ask for anyone better than Talya. She has a lot of compassion in her heart, and she brings out the best in people. She is a role model in many ways too, as she works hard in life and on relationships.
Speaking of which, she is someone who really holds all her family close. We already know she loves her husband and children with all her heart, but she has always been close to her parents as well.
“She’s constantly working to make our kids understand gratitude and appreciation,” Chapin said. “She takes time to sit Indian style on the floor and play with whatever they want. And as it relates to her own mother, they talk on the phone or in person every single day. She coaches her mother through a life without everyone’s beloved ‘Pop Pop.’”
Chapin knows his father-in-law is looking down on his daughter with a big smile on his face, proud as can be. Talya has turned into a phenomenal family woman and a great boss at a nonprofit organization. She does it all; she is truly amazing.
“I don’t say, ‘Thank you’ enough.” – Chapin
