From the joy and excitement of celebrating holidays and family milestones, experiencing new cultures, exploring our city, playing with our pups, to our quiet times enjoying our home, cooking and baking yummy food, and playing records, each day is special to us.  We cannot wait to share our future days with our child.

Our home in hoboken, new jersey

We are so fortunate to call Hoboken home. We love the tree lined streets and the fact that our neighborhood is full of friendly people.  We live very close to fun parks full of kids, tons of activities for families, and all of the museums, theaters and possibilities of New York City.  We live in a fantastic apartment in a classic row house with very friendly neighbors.  We are also very fortunate to have our own private back yard (not so common in NYC area!) where we love to grill out and have friends over in the summer.  We bought our home two years ago and went through a remodel, which was quite a project!  Now, we have the perfect home in a safe, historic neighborhood that is a perfect environment for a child to grow, learn, and have amazing experiences.

 

our passion for exploring the world

We love to travel and discover new cultures, worldviews, and (of course) food!  We think one of the most exciting things about having a child will be guiding them through life to experience and appreciate new ideas and ways of being.  We will absolutely be those parents who have their kid on the plane!  Together we have been all around the United States, Mexico, Argentina, United Kingdom, France, The Netherlands, Turkey, Japan and Thailand.  Through our travels we have learned not only how people from all over the world experience life, but also developed a deep appreciation for our own lives.  We have also been incredibly fortunate to make life long friends from all over the world who are so excited to meet our child and cannot wait to share their lives with him or her.  

 

our family traditions

With such a large family comes many family traditions!  We are so fortunate to be an active part of both of our families.  Across the board they are incredibly happy for us as a couple and supportive of our adoption journey.  They cannot wait to meet our child and include him or her in all of the fun that we have together!  We love to play hosts to our family who come visit us often.  We also love visiting our families for holidays.  Every year we join family at the beach for the Fourth of July, host a Thanksgiving dinner, and come together at Christmas.  We are so excited to teach our child the value of family and share the experience of having a loving extended family whose members are always excited to them and share in their lives building a foundation for life.
