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!

Apple Picking

A couple of weeks ago we took our traditional family trip to Crane's Orchard. This year was so much fun! The weather was cloudy, but a perfect fall day for apple picking. Cool and crisp is perfect!
Simon had so much fun! He was actually able to pick apples off the tree. He loved doing this even though he was not to gentle when putting them in the bag. He also discovered that he could eat the apples that he picked so he needed a quick lesson on how to rub the apples clean on his clothes. He also loved just being able to run through the orchard.



Luke also enjoyed his first trip to the apple orchard. He was fascinated with the apples. He loved touching them and when offered one he even acted like he wanted to eat it!



After picking over 6o pounds of apples (half of them were for my mom)we ventured over to the very busy Pie Pantry for delicious apple cider and doughnuts!


We had a wonderful time picking apples and look forward to doing it again next year!
