Dear Expectant Mother,
Our names are Andy and Austin, and we are super excited to grow our family. We are a couple of goofballs with a lot of extra love to share – we hope to be able to share our love of dogs, outdoors, board games, and adventures with your child. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us better!

The Furballs
Our two dogs, Bowser (9 years old, border collie mix) and Navi (2 years old, doberman mix) are a very important part of our lives. They are two of the most loyal, friendly, and family-loving dogs you could ever meet! They are both very patient with young ones, and we know they would absolutely love a new addition to the family.

Two Loving Nerds

We are a pair of fun-loving geeks – our first interaction with each other was a math joke, and to this day we enjoy solving puzzles of all sorts together. Our two dogs, Bowser and Navi, are also a significant part of our lives who make sure we get plenty of time at the park; they love our frequent get-togethers with friends and family just as much as we do!
5 Things We Will Teach Your Child
- Compassion
- Empathy
- Curiosity
- Honesty
- Confidence
Our Beautiful Home
We love our home in the California Bay Area – we can visit the mountains one day, relax at the beach the next, never traveling more than a few hours from home. When we decide to stay at home, we spend a lot of time in the game room, which is lined with shelves filled with board games, miniatures, and books.
Awesome Austin
Austin has a smile for nearly every occasion. Whether it is his goofy grin when being silly, his mischievous smile when he’s about to win in a game, or his welcome-home smile when I get in after a long day at work, he always brings cheer and joy to his friends and family. Seeing his smile always warms my heart and melts away the stress of the day.
The heartfelt grin on Austin’s face whenever we get to visit our little nieces always brings me joy. His excitement to see them and play with them, patience when they are being troublesome, and most of all his obvious love for them makes it obvious to me that he will be an amazing father.

Amazing Andy
There is not enough space on this page to adequately describe everything that Andy is, so just this one word will have to do: “incredible.” Confident but modest, smart yet humble, and with a heart full of compassion – Andy will do just about anything if it brings happiness to those he loves. Whether helping friends move, driving to a family member’s house to work on a project, or simply surprising me with breakfast in bed, Andy is always thinking of how to brighten someone else’s day.

In Our Free Time
We love all kinds of fun activities; crafts like painting miniature figures or light woodworking, building LEGOs, relaxing with a book or board games, and outdoor activities like camping, hiking, and bicycling. We also do plenty of baking and cooking for ourselves and others.

Our Family and Favorite Activities We Value
Family is everything. We are fortunate to have a large family full of support and love, most of which lives nearby. We are very close with our extended family, including many young cousins, nieces, and nephews that would love to have another cousin to play with. Whether at a backyard barbecue or wedding, there is never a dull moment with our family!
- Reading is magic: We both have a strong love of reading; there is nearly an entire room of our house that is dedicated to our library. We hope to be able to share our love of reading with our child, and for them to develop a curious mind and vivid imagination.
- A breath of fresh air: Another of our shared values is a love of nature. Spending time away from the bustle of modern society is both relaxing and reinvigorating, and it’s always a good idea to spend some time unplugged. We want our child to develop an appreciation and respect for nature and the outdoors.
Our Philosophy
In everything we do, we try to stick to the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
We are firm believers in approaching any situation with an open mind and empathetic heart, and to never assume the worst of someone. We also believe in spending quality time as a family, whether it be a board game night, watching a movie, going for a hike, or snuggling up together with our favorite books; there is no such thing as spending too much time with the ones you love most.
