Our Family

We are a family that loves to have fun! We spend a lot of quality time together—whether it is just the four of us, or if we’re with our extended family. Our family gets together often and the children all enjoy playing together. The grandparents think the world of each grandchild and they are a huge part of their lives. We enjoy going to the park, shopping in antique and second hand stores, visiting friends and family, and sometimes just sitting around home and hanging out. We as a family would love the opportunity to share these experiences and, more importantly, all of the unconditional love that we have with a new child.

Our boy means the world to us; he has brought so much joy into our lives. When he was about 6 months old we took the opportunity to move closer to family. I have to say this has been one of our best decisions ever. Right away Grandma began taking him to swimming lessons, music classes, attending Awana’s and simply being a loving Grandma. As he has become older, Grandpa began showing him how to work and earn money and keep an employer happy. Michael is truly a kind hearted boy and genuinely cares for others; you can find him looking for Easter eggs to share with others. He has shown patience and kindness teaching his best friend Jose how to ride a motorcycle, teaching and talking to him all the while running alongside of him. He has such an amazing personality. At School you will find him making bowls, checker boards, cutting boards, candelabras and giving them as gifts to all around him.

Our daughter is truly a blessing and miracle. We were chosen by a wonderful birth mom in May 2016 to adopt her child that was due in August. At the time we met we didn’t know what she was having. Prior to the ultrasound she said she hoped that she was having a girl since I already have a boy. What a sweet gesture and thought on her part. We fell in love with our daughter the day she was born. Admittedly we are still getting use to starting over with a little one but it has all been exciting and fun…well maybe a little exhausting too. But worth it! Since so much time has gone by since our son was born, we have turned to google in order to refresh our memories of the baby milestones expected. I know you are probably laughing well we are too. Steve said just the other day that he is so glad that I kept on the adoption trail as he feels he sure would have missed out on having a daughter and all her cute frilly things too!
