Our Extended Family

We have been so blessed to have most of our family members still living nearby. We have a very large extended family and remain very close, supporting each other in all that we can. Lindi is especially close to her twin sister. We have a huge support system of aunts, uncles, cousins, and Grandma (Lindi’s mom), who teaches preschool to the little ones! We love to get together on Sunday evenings just to visit with whom ever can come. As the family grows, getting together is kind of like beautiful mass chaos, but there is so much love.

Lindi is blessed to be a kind of second mom to our 31 nieces and nephews and our 13 great-nieces and nephews—they have each brought us so much joy. Many of our days are spent chasing soccer and baseball games, school programs, dance and piano recitals, graduations, church activities, birthday parties, etc., but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Chris has taken on all of this like a champ and has entered “favorite uncle status.” We thank God every day that we have all of these little ones (some grown up now) in our lives. Family is the most important thing to us.

We also have a large network of close friends who are a great support system for us and are like a part of our family. All our family and friends are excited about a new addition to our family.
