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!

Halloween!

It is amazing how time flies. Here it is almost a month later and I am just now getting around to a Halloween post.
We had a super fun Halloween! As has been our tradition for the last few years Chris' parents joined us for pizza and handing out candy. They stay at our house to hand candy to the TONS of trick or treaters we get while we take the boys out.
This year we recycled costumes and Simon was once again an adorable chicken and Luke was a "stinkin" cute skunk.



We started out by trick or treating to a few houses in our neighborhood. Simon loved this! This year I can truly say that he understood the fun of going around and getting candy. He was so cute standing at doors and saying "trick or treat".
After spending some time in the neighborhood we piled in the van and headed to my parents. Simon thought it was the funniest thing to stand at my parents door and knock. After that we headed over to see the "Greats" (my grandparents) and then to see Nana and Grandad (Chris' grandparents).
Halloween was so much this year! I look forward to the coming years as the boys get older and enjoy it more and more!
