We live in a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on a half-acre in South Austin. We love our little home and all the memories we have made here. Our kitchen and living room are the heart of the house, where we spend most of our time together, and our big fenced-in yard gives us plenty of space to run around, swing, play, and enjoy being outside. We are blessed to live in a peaceful, tree-filled neighborhood where we know our neighbors and have built a really great sense of community.

We love Fall time and hitting up all the pumpkin patches and fall festivals that we can find. There is one by our house called Indian Springs Ranch with all kinds of animals, bouncy pad, pumpkins, corn pit, etc.

Hawaii! This is a dream trip that offers mountains, waterfalls, beaches, and one-of-a-kind adventures.

Isabel is a sweet, thoughtful, and silly little girl with a huge heart. She loves sharing with others, playing with her babies, and spending time with the people she loves. She now goes to preschool Monday through Friday and absolutely adores her teachers and discovering new things. She also loves gymnastics, reading, playing in the water, and anything that lets her move her little body. At home, you will find her playing hide-and-seek, giving and getting tickles, and making us smile and laugh every day.

There are many family friendly things to do! Thinkery, library, parks, playgrounds, pools, restaurants, sports, music, events, etc.

Each weekend we find something fun as a family to do.

We met online and had our first date at a bar where both brought our big dogs (100 lbs). We hit it off, and more importantly each each dog highly approved of the other person and were willing to share.

Our family, especially Isabel, has so much love to offer. There is nothing we enjoy more than simply spending time together as a family. We love to do every kid friendly activity under the sun, there is simply nothing we all enjoy more than capturing these moments and how much sweeter with one more joyful child.

Love God, love others. Faith certainly plays a major role as we believe God has called us to be a family of four and to display His love in a way that our adopted child will be every bit as perfectly loved as our own.

Together as a small family. We drive down to Laura’s family for either Thanksgiving or Christmas, but we always have our own family time just relaxing in our own home away from all the noise or travelling chaos.
