We were married in
1993 after a nearly 2 year courtship. Brian is a
firmware engineer for Hewlett Packard and recently
received his MBA in Finance. He is surely the glue
that holds us all together. He is patient, kind and
loving and an amazing handyman around here. Anna is
a licensed registered nurse that has worked in
Maternity Services. She currently does not work
outside the home so that she can take care of our clan. She is so very grateful for this
privilege.

forget what you said, people will forget what you

Eric – Age 12
Jacob - Age 9
Eric
loves football, reading and is a proud member of
Bronco Nation! (Our awesome Boise State Broncos won
the Fiesta Bowl – YAHOO) The oldest of our bunch, he
is a great source of help to his parents and an
amazing example to his younger siblings. He will be
traveling with us to China this time.
Jacob loves all things
to do with science and inventing. He has a great
imagination and is our resident peace maker. He is
looking forward to being the “man of the house” when
mom, dad and Eric travel to bring Sarah home.
Jonathan – Age 8
Samuel - Age 5
Jon is ready for the NFL already. I think he has
more game plays memorized than his parents (well, at
least his mother) are even aware of. He is our
trampoline trickster. He loves to make people laugh
and he has an amazing ability to sense just when his
help is needed.
Samuel is READY for
kindergarten. With a September birthday he missed
our local district cut-off but, when he goes this
fall he is bound to fly through his “assignments”.
He is Brian’s mini-me and is an affectionate and
talkative young man. He loves to wrestle with his
brothers and loves to eat zucchini!
Mandi – Age 2
"We can't form our children on our own concepts; we
must take them and love them as God gives them to
us."
~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
A gigantic ball of
energy and speed. Whoever said the boys have all the
energy never met this little sassy one. She lights
up a room with her smile and gives the greatest hug
squeezes. We have had her with us since September
26, 2005 when we brought her home!
