We enjoyed a beautiful day, got all dressed up for Easter church (at home), had an egg hunt and opened and ate plenty of candy. Then a delicious Easter dinner to top it all off. We’re thankful!

Favorites
We love family time! Playtime with cousins is our favorite.
We love to travel! Before we had children we lived overseas, and we like to explore new places as a family now.
We love our home! Our home is a joyful, safe place where children can play and be creative. We spend lots of time in the kitchen, savoring slow meals together and trying new, delicious things. We read, we pray and sing and explore outside together.

" I am writing to express my wholehearted support of the Koch family as a prospective adopted family again. My brother is Jady and he has always been my hero and someone I have looked up to from a young age. Jady is funny, very smart, compassionate, firm in his convictions and very generous. He is a great father to his children and has a desire to raise and lead his family to know and love Christ and others. Liza is not only my sister-in-law but my best friend. She is loyal, smart, compassionate, firm in her convictions and gracious to everyone she meets. She is an excellent mother and her children adore her. I have witnessed first hand the loving attention they show towards their children and admire them as parents. The children are precious and loving and fun to be around and I know would welcome a new sibling with open arms. Together this family is just amazing. Of course Jady and Liza have their occasional disagreements like any normal couple, but they are truly best friends. They treat each other with mutual respect and have created a stable and secure home for their children. I HIGHLY recommend them as prospective adoptive parents and have no doubt that your child would be loved and taken care of with open arms, lots of prayer, and unconditional love from their family, and from me, “Aunt Lulu” too :) "
