Family is very important to us. We have been blessed to have wonderful and supportive families. Randy's parents live just five minutes away and Jen's parents live only an hour away, so we get to see everybody very often. Jen has a sister, Leigh, who lives by Jen's parents in Greentown with her husband, Brian, and their two children, Katie (10) and Luke (5). Randy has a brother, Tom, who lives on the east side of Indianapolis with his wife, Julia, and their two children, Drew (4) and Alyssa (1). Jen also has grandparents that live only an hour away who can't wait to become great grandparents again! Great grandma Mary has some wonderful baby quilts ready to go! Our families are extremely excited about the adoption. Our adoption journey has been an amazing process shared and supported by our entire family.

We love getting together with all the family, especially our nieces and nephews! Whether it's playing miniature golf, swimming at the lake, going to the movies, or just having a "kids night in", they have brought us so much joy and we can't wait to experience that joy as parents. The love and respect that we have learned from our families is something we want to pass onto our children. Not a day will go by that they won't know the love and support of not only us, but also grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and great grandparents.
