In the Spring of 2022, Austin’s sister was having a destination wedding in Alaska. We were so excited to go and the trip was absolutely amazing.

When we got back from our trip I had a really hard time adjusting back from the time change (or so I thought). I was sooooo tired and would sleep all day and all night - that’s not usual for me. Turns out, we had so much fun in Alaska we brought a surprise back with us - I was pregnant. We were in shock, scared, nervous, excited, giddy, all the feelings!

So, with our little girl on the way we worked endlessly to get our house done. Weekends, after work, early mornings, holidays, and so on. We didn’t quite finish the house by the time Amelia arrived in February of 2023 and we had to stay with our parents for the first 3-6 months of her life. Eventually we moved in to our house and settled in as a family.

Amelia is the most precious and beautiful little girl and we are in awe of her every day. We are so lucky to call her ours. We love watching her grow and learn new things. We love her belly laughs and her serious faces. She is the biggest blessing and the best surprise!
