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!

Playing in the Snow!

Last weekend we got several inches of snow after a rainy Christmas Day. We decided to bundle up the boys in their winter gear to head outside for a chance to try out some of their Christmas gifts. Luke got an entire snowsuit from my parents and Simon got a snow shovel to help Daddy shovel. Both boys got sleds from Chris and I. Needless to say bundling up to two little boys to head outside is easier said than done. It took me about 15 minutes to get both of them and myself ready to head outside. Poor Luke did not(or could not) move at all in his gear. He was like Randy in the movie "A Christmas Story". He could not put his arms down! He was super cute! Here are some pictures of our adventure.
