"If you could choose one characteristic that would
get you through life, choose a sense of humor."
- Jennifer Jones
When we met in January 2007 through an online
dating site, we both realized that we shared a similar
view on life: No matter what comes along, a sense of
humor makes it easier to tackle life’s obstacles. From
Graig’s car dancing to Dave’s puns, we have been
laughing together ever since - supporting each other
along the way.

and Graig’s sister just had twins. All of the kids in
our lives are excited at the possibility of a new
cousin.
We live in a spacious townhouse in a diverse,
family friendly neighborhood with a large park
down the street. We like to entertain our family
and friends. Every year since we’ve been
together, we cook Thanksgiving dinner for family
and try out fun, new recipes. After dinner,
everyone helps us decorate for Christmas - a
tradition we can’t wait to share with our child.
We also look forward to our annual apple picking
trip and many nature hikes.
Our vision of parenting is evolving as we
watch our friends’ and family’s kids grow. We
really want to make sure our children will be
excited about learning. We want to impart
our strong sense of morals and our sense of
humor in our child. Most of all, we want to

personality, their likes and dislikes, and to
embrace what makes them unique.
We really like the idea of an open adoption because we want our
child to know about their birth family. We don’t have any definite
plans for how much contact or the types of contact that we would
have with an open adoption. Every situation is different, and we
want to respect your wishes. We are open to things like sharing
pictures, writing letters, and planning visits. We’re excited to start
an open relationship where we can figure things out together.
