Three and a half years can bring a lot of change! Since the end of 2013 we've adopted a baby (now a three year old kid), moved across the country and bought another house.
Our biggest life change was Gavin's birth three years ago. We arrived at the hospital the day he was born and we've been learning how to parent a growing child ever since. He's intelligent, fun and a barrel of laughs. He'll make an incredible big brother and he's already excited about that. He's given us the chance to see life through a child's eyes and to experience things that were never as much fun before he joined our family.
When Gavin was 7 months old, Stewart accepted a job in Idaho so we moved across the country in November, leaving Buffalo less than a week before a snowstorm closed down the city. After we'd been here for a year we bought a beautiful home in a great neighborhood in a quaint little town in eastern Idaho (more on that later).
Near the end of last year we started talking about adopting again. We spent the beginning of this year doing the necessary paperwork and other preparations and now we are excited to find our next baby. Below are some photos to give you an idea of what our lives are like now. We're happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to getting to know you.
This is us on the day Gavin was born. I flew to NYC while Stewart drove our car so we had a way home. We spent a few days there before bringing him home.

June 2016 on vacation in Scotland. We love to travel and Gavin is becoming a great traveler. We're excited (and a little scared) to bring a second child along on our adventures.
We both still love to cook, but now we have a little extra help in the kitchen. It's messier when Gavin helps but we love that it makes him happy and I hope he's as good of a cook as his dad.
This past May we spent a week in Southern Utah hiking in Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. It was nice to stay a little closer to home, especially in a place so gorgeous.
