Meet Us
Thor through Kimberly’s Eyes:
When Thor met my parents for the first time he won them over by filling out an Application to Date my daughter as a joke, I knew in that moment that with him I would have a life full of laughter, surprises, and remarkable love.
Ahoy Daddy, a pirate battle while mommy makes fresh cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning.
A kid at heart, Thor can barely wait to open presents at Christmas and this summer he demonstrated how a new Slip ‘n Slide works for Jake when he slid fully clothed through the water and into the pool.
On a crisp fall afternoon you can find Thor & Jacob racing matchbox cars, making silly videos, or playing football among the leaves in our backyard.
Big Adventures with our Little Man
Thor owns a successful computer company and we love that he can easily take time off for family vacations or the first day of pre-school. I love to stand outside Jake’s bedroom door at night and just listen to Thor reading bedtime stories, giving each book its own sound effects and voices. Thor and Jake share an unbelievable bond and I can’t wait to peek into the nursery to see him quietly swaying another baby to sleep in his arms.
Kimberly through Thor’s Eyes:
Kim is the love of my life, my best friend, a supportive wife and unbelievable mother. Her generous heart endears her to everyone she knows whether she’s planning a surprise party for a friend, designing ads for my business, or driving to Illinois to teach her Grandma how to use a digital camera. Kimberly worked for many years as a wedding photographer capturing stolen kisses and soothing nervous brides, one time even kicking off her shoes to climb into a fountain for the perfect shot.
Snuggling for warmth as we search for the perfect Jack-o-lantern
These days Kimberly enjoys kicking off her shoes in our big backyard for a game of tickle monster tag with Jake and looks forward to soothing a new baby to sleep with her beautiful singing voice.
Her love for our family shines through in the many photos that fill our walls and I can see her creativity in our son’s eyes as he paints a picture. Kim loves being a stay at home mom and I look forward to watching her, baby on hip, pointing out the tomatoes in her garden or a bird in its nest.
Jacob through Mom & Dad’s eyes:
Our sweet, loving, and clever son, Jacob, fills our hearts beyond measure. His happy blue eyes only hint at his great big heart. Excited to become a big brother, we can already see Jacob encouraging first steps, singing You are my Sunshine, and reading his favorite book, Bear Snores On, to a little brother or sister. An active and imaginative child, Jacob excels in preschool. He loves splashing in the pool on a hot summer day and just curling up on the couch with us and a big bowl of popcorn to watch a movie.
Jacob seizes any opportunity to ride on his Daddy’s shoulders, often flirting with passing girls from on high. He gives the best hugs and always knows how to get you laughing; we think those are the makings of a great older brother.
Cartoons are better with cuddles from our little buddy Bella.
Jake enjoys visits with his birth mom and his big smile and easy going personality remind us of her. We are close to our own sisters and can’t wait to see him sharing PB&J sandwiches, make-believe adventures, and a lifetime of memories with his little brother or sister.
