About Us

Holland, MI, United States
Chris and I met through mutual friends Melissa and Andy Kuiper six years ago. I can honestly say that it was not love at first sight, but as time went on and I got to know Chris I realized that this was someone I wanted to get to know better. As we dated and got to know each other better it became apparent to me that Chris was someone who I loved and wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Chris and I were married June 11, 2005 and have been married for four years. In that time we have become the parents of two beautiful little boys. Simon Thomas, born August 3, 2007, is a very happy and energetic two year old. Baby Luke is a wonderful little baby born June 3, 2009. In the winter of 2008 Chris was offered a fantastic job with Sentry Insurance. He quickly excepted the job which has turned out to be his "dream" job. As a result of Chris starting this job we decided that after teaching first grade for 7 years that I would quit my job and stay at home with Simon and future children. Being at home is truly where my heart is and I am so thankful to be able to stay at home with Simon and Luke. Our family is truly blessed and we are very thankful for all we are given by God!

Introducing... Luke David Arendshorst


Chris and I welcomed a new member to our family on June 3, 2009. Luke David was born in Holland Hospital weighing 8lbs. 5ozs. and 21 inches long. The first thing I noticed about him when I saw him was he was not huge! This was quite a concern for me considering I had gestational diabetes. Second, I noticed he had hair! Simon did not have a lick of hair on his head when he was born. Granted Luke did not have a ton, but certainly more than Simon.
Luke is now almost 3 months old. At his two month appointment he weighed 14lbs. 5ozs. and was 25 inches long. A very healthy boy! He is also such a joy. He is a very happy baby and always quick with the smiles. He loves to talk. If you smile at him and talk to him he coos and talks back! Super cute!
Simon is an awesome big brother. He loves Luke very much and asks where Luke is as soon as he wakes up in the morning and kisses him goodnight every night.
We are so very thankful that Luke is here. We are truly very blessed.
