Things We Like To Do

We Love To Get Out and Do Things
We love to take day trips to new and exciting places. As a family we go for walks with our dogs, bike rides, swimming at the local pool and lots of family vacations. Ayden has already been to Washington DC to visit John's family and Michigan and Ohio to visit Kevin's family. There are lots of fun days at the Zoo, Childrens' Science Center and all the childrens' museums in Los Angeles. We volunteer and teach kids classes at church which includes compassion for all living things -including spiders!  We also attend a wonderful church where everyone just loves Ayden.

  John's Interests John loves to work out and play with our dogs. He has a passion for Spanish music and gets into dance music. One of his talents is speaking Japanese - he has travelled all over the world and lived in Japan for 7 years. He finds teaching kids yoga very fulfilling and fun. John is very close to his brothers and sisters and every Sunday night you can find him talking to his parents on the phone.

  Kevin's Interests Kevin grew up collecting antiques and other collectibles. He loves to collect old children's books and just books in general. He has a great sense of humor so people love to be around him. Everytime we have a party at our house, people say their jaws hurt from laughing so much. Kevin is a "crack up" and is so much fun to be around. As a child, he learned all about plants and trees. Now, he is a great gardener and loves to spend time outdoors. I am sure he will teach our child all about nature and its beauty.

Kevin has an amazing green thumb.

and butterflies.
  Our Common Interests Exploring and learning is our favorite thing to do. On weekends, you will find us visiting museums, science centers, national parks, a new city. We like to stay physically active too so we play tennis, go swimming and go for walks with our dogs. Our favorite time of the day is when we sit down for family dinner and listen to each other's stories. Both of us are very close to our families. As often as possible, we visit Kevin's family in Michgan and John's family in California.

We love to learn while exploring - this is us on a trip to Germany.
