We try to see our extended family every chance we can. Nancy's parents live just 20 minutes away from our home. Mike's parents, our siblings, nieces and nephews live in Southern California. Our whole family is excited to have another child to spoil with lots of love and attention.

We love celebrating the holidays and birthdays with our family and friends. Our family enjoys music, so our holiday gatherings often have Aunt Robin on the piano, Skyler on his drums, ukelele or guitar, Mike on the guitar and everyone singing (on and off key!).

Birthdays are special times, with a family meal, birthday cake, balloons, cards and gifts, and games. Our holiday gatherings are full of laughter and always have enough food to accommodate extra guests. We love to join with our neighbors on holidays too — cheering on the local 4th of July parade and participating in all Halloween festivities — hay rides, pumpkin patches, and trick or treat events.
