We celebrated Christmas just us, and Jess's Mom, after quarantining to be safe. Our daughter has a very close connection to her "Mimi" so making this happen was very special. We drove around and looked at light displays and took some nice walks, but mostly stayed in and baked, ate, and enjoyed time together.

We cook at home, from scratch, most nights. It's an activity that we do as a family, and we feel it brings us closer together.
We enjoy watching live sporting events whenever we get the chance. We can't wait to sing, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" with our child!
We love spending time with family - and we have a big one!
We love to go to the beach to play (especially Oliver)! When we go, we often bring games like bocce, play soccer with Oliver, and splash in the waves.
We have rescued, rehabilitated, and adopted-out 5 dogs, and are supporters of dog rescues in various cities. We care for all of God's creatures!
We grew up skiing and plan to introduce our children to skiing and winter sports as soon as they are big enough!
