About Us

Matt and I met at church and instantly knew we were meant to be together. We got married in the Washington D.C. temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and later we both graduated from the University of Minnesota; Matt studied math (he's an Actuary) and I studied music (I'm a choir director).

In 2008, we were blessed with our first daughter, Ellie. At 20 weeks gestation, we learned that Ellie is genetically enhanced! She has Down syndrome (she was given an extra 21st chromosome). Due to low amniotic fluid, she was delivered via c-section at 29 weeks weighing 1 pd 14 oz (13 inches long). After overcoming several obstacles due to prematurity and 106 days in the hospital, she came home! Her AV Canal heart defect was repaired 2 months later and we celebrate her "Heart Day" each year. We have witnessed many mighty miracles in her life and look forward to the many that are yet to come.

We had our second daughter, Rachel, in 2012. Rachel is a sweet and happy baby. Strangers always comment on how "alert" she looks. Is that good? Will she run wild when she learns to move? Oh well...we're trying to enjoy "right now" and oh, how we love her so much!
