I am a creative, energetic person. I have devoted my career to working with children with special needs. I work for my local school system and have the opportunity to spend summers at home with my family. I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, and keeping busy with "house projects." As an avid scrapbooker, I am excited to sit down as a family to flip through the pages of each of our children's scrapbooks and share their story. I have so much fun when we cook together as a family! Our most favorite thing to cook is pasta sauce. My greatest love is Kyle, our son. He has been the best addition to our family. He is a caring, thoughtful toddler who always amazes me and will be an awesome big brother. I love watching him him grow into a little person. We have so much fun going to the parks together, coloring, and running around at soccer practice every Saturday. But I know he will be more excited to do all of these things with a younger sibling! He is my best playmate and I can't wait for another little one to run around with. My husband is just awesome support. He always puts family first and he is my best friend. I think we make a good "team" and share a lot of the same parenting values.

I am a loving, patient husband and father. I enjoy playing and watching sports, especially football. We already have Jersey's ready for the kids to wear when we root on our favorite football team, the Giants! I have coached girls high school volleyball, but have taken a break since Kyle's birth so I can spend more time with my family. I look forward to coaching our children in future sports and cheering them on as the hit home run during the league championship! I really enjoy teaching our son new things. Our favorite games are 'tag' and building with Legos! Angela is such a great mom, she is organized, creative and I know I can always count on her when I need extra support! Being a dad is one of my greatest accomplishments in life and I am so excited about being a dad again. I hope that we can find a sibling for Kyle who is close in age so they can be good friends.

We live in a single family home that is on a cul-de-sac and is walking distance to our local elementary school and parks.We live very close to Washington DC in a quiet neigbhorhood that is full of young children. On any given day you can see the kids running around outside playing tag, going from swing set to swing set or building a fort. We have a pool in our neighborhood that we practically live in during the summer months. Our neighbors are wonderful and we often get together for family BBQ's and celebrations. We live in a place with so many opportunities and adventures, one that kids can make memories that will last a lifetime!
