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!

6 Months Old!

Lukie turned 6 months on Dec. 3. It is amazing how time flies! Today he had his 6 month appointment with Dr. Schrotenboer. Luke continues to be a very healthy boy! He weighed in at 19lbs 3.5ozs., which puts him in the 80th percentile. He is 28 1/2inches long which puts him in the 97th percentile and his head circumference is off the curve. That does not surprise me at all because Simon was exactly the same way. He is meeting all of his milestones on time, if not a little ahead!
Luke continues to be such an easygoing and happy baby! We are truly very blessed. His sleeping is improving. After a few nights of crying for two hours and one night of crying for 4 hours (yes, you read correctly. He is one stubborn dude!) we are down to once or twice a night. I just figure he loves me so much that he needs to see every few hours.
Here are some new things Luke is doing this month:
- He sits up very well with no support and for long periods of time!






- He rolls all over the place. I caught him the other day tugging on the lights of the Christmas tree.
- He is very good at blowing bubbles and he mimics actions and sounds. It is the darn cutest thing!
- He loves taking baths in the big bathtub now!


- As of this past Sunday he cut his first tooth, his next one is not far behind!
His favorite things remain the same:
- his blankie
- his jump-a-roo
- his brother and his all time favorite obsession is still me!
I know I say this every month but we are so truly blessed to have Luke as our son. He is such a wonderful addition to our family!
