Dogs or cats?

Dogs! Because we have the two cutest dogs ever, Kiki and Scruffers. (Also, I'm allergic to cats.)

My philosophy on parenting is...

Be good, kind, and patient with yourself so you can be good, kind, and patient to those around you.

We are the best choice because…

We are a solid marriage that supports each other, is always on the same page with parenting, and tries to give our child the best life possible while raising him to have morals, values, and to be a good person who treats others well. If we are chosen, the child will get loving parents who want nothing but the best for them, and also a fun, loving sibling who can’t wait to be a big brother!

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

My favorite place in the World is...

I love trees! I don't have one specific place in the world that is my favorite, but if I am surrounded by trees and nature I am happy and feel more at peace. I can imagine myself swinging from a hammock looking up at the branches of a mature tree, or playing with the kids in a treehouse and swinging them on a swing from a strong branch, or having a summer picnic under a shady tree, or even a candlelight family dinner under a tree's canopy. Not only do I love the beauty of trees, but also believe they have a profound impact on our well-being, both physically and emotionally.

What is the best word to describe our family?

I asked my kids and they said: Fun, adventure, love, connection, peace, and keeping our promises. Drew and I would add: joy, Truth, accountable, courageous, hard working, and nonjudgmental.
