We are a loving, warm, and active family excited to welcome a second child into our lives. Through the next few pages you will learn about us, our family, and our friends.

All of which we want to share with a second child in the future.

Should you choose to meet us, please know that it would be such an honor to meet and get to know you as well. Thank you for considering us!

About Us

We met online in 2011 and got married four years later. Aiden entered our lives in 2018 and we haven’t looked back. We’re an energetic and loving family of three — four including our dog Heathrow — that likes to get outside and explore the world, whether it’s to the local park, driving to the mountains, or flying somewhere new.

We are a loving and caring family, and our strengths complement each other. James is the spontaneous yet more grounded one, while Ned is the planner who likes to set goals for us. We both care deeply for equality and that everyone should be treated with kindness and respect.

Since Aiden joined us, he has only added more joy and spontaneity to our life. We love that everyday is a new adventure with him. We are thankful to be surrounded by our loving family and friends, and can’t wait to share that love and joy by expanding our family.
