Everything Mackinac Island has to offer, this is our second home! Traveling, taking walks and swimming. We love the water!

Jaylen who is 2 y/o is going to make the best big brother. We also have two rescue cats; Bella and Benny.

Family celebrations that are important to us:
ALL OF THEM! We will find any excuse to get together with family. Birthdays are really important to us, we have a really big Christmas and Thanksgiving, and every Easter we hide tons and tons of Easter eggs! We also look forward to the big fireworks display on the lake on Mackinac.

Bike ride on the island, BBQ, take walks, boating, our yearly trip to Jamaica, try new restaurants.

One thing we would like the birth family to know about us/why we would be good parents:
We promise to love this child with all we have and to support them unconditionally. We will take the time to teach them what life has to offer and to be hard working, but to also remind them to take time to laugh and have fun with friends and loved ones.
