Natalie and Andrew met volunteering at their local library in High School. It shouldn’t be a surprise that they love to read and are so good about picking out our daughters favorite books! Natalie has even read to our girls over FaceTime during the pandemic. Ivy loves to have her Aunt and Uncle read to her and her favorite book series are from Mo Willems who they introduced us too! 

Natalie and Andrew are very thoughtful and intentional when they pick out Birthday or Christmas gifts. They don’t have children of their own yet but they seem to know exactly what children like! We joke that their future children are going to be spoiled with love, attention and gifts ( but books are a large part of the gifts - so educational!) 

Andrew is a gentle soul and he has a very special way with children. Our family jokes that he’s a saint because he seems to have unlimited patience! He gets down to the children’s level and plays for what seems like an unlimited time doing just what our girls like to do. Whether it’s playing with legos, building blocks, playing with the puppies, or reading- he gives undivided attention. 

Natalie and Andrew will be great parents for a multitude of reasons but loving their children unconditionally and really fostering the uniqueness of that child are ways that they stand out. They are open to a lot of new experiences and will introduce their children to our beautiful world and all that is has to offer while providing a very safe, loving and nurturing home for their children to thrive.
