Favorite Family Pastimes: Together we love to gather with our friends and family, crafting, working out, hunting, traveling and going to local sporting events. We enjoy playing with our daughter Mae and watching her grow. We also appreciate little things like spending time at home, going up north to the cabin, or watching a movie, reading (Ellyn) and listening to podcasts (Matt), taking our dog (Lois) for walks and playing fetch.
Activities we are excited to do with our child(ren): We love reading to Mae, taking her for walks in her stroller or wagon, and exploring the outdoors together. Whether it’s a simple walk down our driveway or a hike with her in the backpack. We can’t wait to share these same experiences with another child and watch Mae become a big sister. We look forward to seeing them play, learn, and explore side by side. Discovering new adventures that come with having children as they find their own interests and hobbies. We’re especially excited to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and all the little everyday moments that make family life so special.
What we are most looking forward to about adding to our family: We are most looking forward to watching our daughter become a big sister and seeing the special bond that will grow between them. Our hearts are ready to share even more love, laughter, and everyday moments as a family of four. We can’t wait for the simple joys such as bedtime stories, family adventures, and creating new traditions together.
