Wyatt has been painting the baby room all day making touch ups. This is our first try at room painting and are quite impressed with the outcome. We chose a cool/warm gray named network gray that would be light and welcoming for the little one. All of our parent friends recommend a calming color for the bedroom to help them sleep well at night and at nap times so that it's not too overstimulating. Once the paint drys, we intend to move everything back into place and then start organizing books, clothes and decor.

We are huge Harry Potter nerds. I have read all the books and Wyatt is finally working through the books after falling in love with the movies.
Grilling out in the backyard with friends and their kiddos.
We love to sit outside on our patio while drinking a cup of coffee and listening to music. As you can tell from our mugs we’re big nerds!
We love going to old school arcades and challenging each other to get the highest scores.
Always learning. While on vacation to the beach, we took some time to learn about sea turtles.
We love surprises and trying new things. Pictured are Wyatt and our friend indoor skydiving for their birthdays.

Sarah F, Sister in law
" I am Amanda's sister and law and have known Amanda for 15 years. She is not only my sister, but one of my closest friends. Amanda and Wyatt have been praying for a little one to complete their family for years. They are the only ones we trust to watch our two children, N and J, for date nights or for weekend trips because we know that they are safe, well taken care of and loved. They will provide a wonderful loving home, and already have their nursery ready for the little one they are awaiting. Wyatt and Amanda will make amazing parents and have a tremendous support system on both sides of the family and we all cannot wait until they are able to finally complete their family. "
