About Jeff by Colleen

Not only is Jeff a fabulous visual arts teacher for tons of adoring students, but he is also amazingly talented at every new skill he picks up. Lucky for his students and me, he’s incredibly generous about sharing his skills. He is always up for taking on a new project and exploring new things. 

Last year Jeff, remodeled our bathroom and expanded the garden. He also built a side patio, perfected his rhubarb cobbler, and learned to play the piano (we call him Elton Jeff). And the list goes on and on!

I know Jeff will make a brilliant father. When sharing our adoption hopes, our nieces exclaimed, “Wow, what a lucky kid.” At school and at home, kids naturally love being near Jeff. He radiates fun and relates to children with honesty and love. I look forward to him sharing everything he knows with a new child. 

Top things I adore about Jeff:

1) After 10 years, I still smile like a love-struck idiot around Jeff. 

Seriously, he puts a goofy smile on my face instantly. His humor, his humming, and the playful look he gives me when he comes home are the daily things that light up my entire heart and soul.

2) Jeff does everything with love and kindness.

He cooks, bakes, renovates and gently nudges me towards my goals. He is by my side through thick and thin.

3) Jeff is the best snuggle buddy ever!
