Dear Expectant Mother,

We are so grateful you could be considering us to raise your child. Nothing in this world would make us happier than to create a wonderful life for your baby. We really respect the courageous decision you are considering. Being in the military gives us a lot of opportunities to travel the world and to show your child the joys of adventuring! We cannot wait to show them all the different cultures of the world! If you choose us, we want to educate your child on loving every being no matter how different they may look from us and how everyone is worthy of being shown kindness no matter what their background is.

We love to go hiking in the mountains and near rivers and lakes with our dogs, so we would love to strap your baby on our backs and show them the wonders of the outdoors! We would stop for picnics and, of course, a few snapshots! We love to go kayaking, so your child would have so much fun riding along on the crystal-clear lakes near the mountains! On cold winter days, we love to cook, so being able to feed your baby goodies and teaching them to cook with us would be such a joy. Nicole loves to bake and cannot wait to get messy with your growing child.

Our traditions are going to be our most favorite thing we are so excited to share with your child. We both love fall and winter, so those will be our best times for traditions. We want to take your child to pumpkin patches and tree farms! Just the joy of finally celebrating holidays as a family will be the biggest blessing of all. Thank you for considering making our dream of becoming parents come true!
