Our Fabulous Friends

In addition to our large families, we have a large and supportive circle of friends. Many of them have young children so we have a wealth of parental experience to rely on, not to mention endless opportunity for play dates. Whenever we visit friends with children, Stan and I are always enthusiastic playmates whether it entails dressing up for tea parties, constructing a Lego masterpiece or snuggling up to watch Finding Nemo.  Michelle can create the best tea party outfits’ using whatever is at hand.  Our close friends, Liz and Nelson and Mark and Tara-Leigh, are expecting, so our children can grow up together. Our friends are like our extended family.  

Though we don’t belong to any organized religion, we both are very spiritual people. We find our inner peace in seeing the sun shining through the trees or watching a hummingbird on the wind. We plan to raise your child with a great appreciation of all that is good and right in the world, and with encouragement to wonder at all its mysteries as well.

Both of us feel that a child needs a moral and ethical education as well as an academic one. We benefit from having close family and friends from a variety of faiths and cultures who can offer your child exposure to the wonderful differences that make our planet great.
