Ryan helping me clean up from baking.


My giant and I met in high school and have been married for over a decade. I cannot imagine living my life with anyone else.
Natalie is the typical first child - she loves to manage everyone including her parents and complete strangers. She collects things - anything really - and enjoys organizing and rearranging the contents of her drawers and shelves on nearly a daily basis. She is extremely sweet, rules-oriented, and loves giving people parting gifts to remember her by.
If anyone was made to be an Egyptian princess, it is our Ainsley. She loves being carried around and rubbed. She is an extremely happy child who seems to be singing 24/7 and will ham it up for a laugh.
Ryan is our miracle baby. We were told at 12 wks. in utero that he would never make it to 20 weeks. He was born with Pentalogy of Cantrell which includes ectopia cordis, omphalocele, herniated diaphragm, sternal cleft, and ventricular septal defect (VSD). Additionally, he has a missing PDA, pulmonary atresia, hypoplastic right heart syndrome (HRHS), and a cor triatriatum membrane in his heart. To read his full story, click on the labels Baby Boy (before birth story) and Ryan (since birth story).
