About Our Family

We are a busy, family-centered household with four young children ages 2, 4, 7, and 8. Our days are full with school, sports, and activities, and we truly enjoy being active together as a family. Our children participate in a variety of activities including baseball, soccer, swim lessons , ballet, gymnastics, and competitive dance, which means our household operates on a lively and dynamic schedule.

We love spending time outdoors and traveling as a family, whether it's visiting our cabin, enjoying time on the water, fishing, or traveling to favorite destinations from the mountains to the sea.Ultimately, our home is a place where family, activity, and connection come together.

Mom is deeply involved in the daily rhythm of the home and children, and Dad leads a growing land development company. Together we value creating a supportive home environment that allows us to stay connected as a family while managing the many moving parts of a full and active life.
