Our Family


 



Mike and Jenny
Mike and I have been married 12 years and are blessed with two beautiful children, Elizabeth 8 ½ and Michael 6 ½. Mike is employed with the Iowa National Guard and I am a former elementary reading teacher and a stay at home mom. We enjoy bike riding, outdoor activities, cooking, attending our children’s activities, watching sports together and an occasional dinner out without kids.

“For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope.” Jeremiah 29: 11
 

 

Elizabeth
Our kind, gentle, roller coaster loving, soccer ball kicking, piano playing, picky eating, dog loving, third grade artist. She’s a great big sister. Just don’t talk to her when she is reading! Elizabeth’s letter to Ethan:

Dear Ethan,
I hope you are ok in China. We will come get you as soon as we can. I am very excited that you will be in our family, your Forever Family. I hope we can get you very soon so we can play with you. All my friends want to know when you’ll be home. I hope everyone loves you just like me. Your great big sister, Elizabeth

   


Michael
Our All About Dad, all boy, ball loving, tree climbing, animal lover, lego building, camo wearing, all around great kid. Just as long as this first grader gets enough sleep! Will be a great big brother to Ethan. Michael’s letter to Ethan:

Dear Ethan,
When you grow older, we can play Star Wars together! We will have a great time! It might seem a little scary but you will like it. We’ll be buddies. You will have more buddies too. Your big brother, Michael

 
This is the letter that Ethan’s cousin Kate wrote to us.
