More About Our Family |
Our Special Interests | We are a very active family! We love taking walks in nature and rollerblading, and you can frequently find us at the gym. We love outdoor activities like going to the beach, walking in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, and going apple or pumpkin picking. We also love baking. We frequently bake treats for our small group at church and have developed a reputation in that group for our elaborate desserts. Most evenings, you can find us watching a movie or reading a book out loud together.
|
Our Faith | Our faith in Christ defines everything about our family. His love is the example that we seek to follow in our relationship with each other and in our relationships with others. His truth and guidance are what we pray for, both for ourselves and for our future children. His word is the instruction that we apply to each aspect of our lives, including our work, our marriage, our finances, and our interactions with others.
|
Our Musical Interest | We love music! We have both sung in choirs for many years and we find joy and laughter in singing together. Candace grew up with a mother who taught her to sing, and she, her mother, and sister would often, and still do, sing in three-part harmony together. Candace was in her school choirs every year from Fourth Grade through college. Russ taught himself how to play the guitar in high school and sung on his church's youth worship team and in the Men's Glee Club in college. We also sang in our previous church's choir together.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We are so excited to become parents. The opportunity to love, teach, and provide for a child thrills and humbles us. We will care for and nurture any child in our home with great joy, diligence, and reliance upon God. We would be happy to share photos, letters, and a visit if that is your desire.
