The most important life priority for us is spending quality time together. Quality time can look like spending time at home doing our favorite activities like reading, puzzles, legos, yard work, or sitting on the couch watching sports or movies, to supporting each other at work functions.

We also love to attend sporting events of all kinds. When we are not spending time with just us, we are usually spending time with our families which is another top priority for us. We love to get together to play card games, watch sporting events or just have a nice family dinner.

We love to travel all over the world with our families enjoying the new sights and experiences with the people we love.

Craig is an Elementary Physical Education Teacher. He takes great pride in showing his students the joys of being active and playing sports from a young age. One of his favorite things about teaching is watching students from kindergarten to fifth grade grow into amazing little humans. Additionally, Craig coaches high school lacrosse, and loves the opportunity to help them thrive in a sport they love and guide them to becoming good humans along the way.

Kelsey is a Zookeeper focusing on Animal Ambassador animals. She loves the opportunity to help create awe inspiring connections with guests at the zoo through up close interactions with animals she cares for and trains. She works with around 100 animals including birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. This has been Kelsey's dream job since she was 5 years old, so to be able to not only do this job, but also be able to inspire the next generation, it is a dream come true.

What we expect to like most about being parents is to watch and enjoy all the little milestones. From first steps to first words and every little milestone on the way is the most exciting thing for us.

We are excited to see their passions develop and the support them in any way along their journey. We are also very excited to show them our passions and the things we love to do.

Craig is looking forward to being able to teach your child from kindergarten through fifth grade because we feel that that is going to be a super special opportunity.

Kelsey is looking forward to being able to bring your child to the zoo so they can meet and experience the animals in an amazing way and grow up learning many things about the wonderful animals in the world.

We are very much looking forward to seeing our favorite place, Disneyland, through their eyes and experiencing the magic in a whole new way.

Our families are at the center of everything we do. Kelsey's parents live 2 minutes up the road, where we frequently have dinner and game nights that also include her brother and his wife. Since most of the family are teachers, we always look forward to our yearly summer vacations, including our favorite, Disneyland. For Christmas Kelsey's family always has matching pajamas that we wear while opening presents.

Even though Craig's family lives a few hours away, he has a very supportive family that includes his parents, brother, sister-in-law and our two nieces. We see them often, whether it is us traveling there or them traveling to us. Our favorite family tradition is hiding easter eggs for our nieces, with hopes that our nieces will be able to hide eggs for your child in the future.

An amazing tradition that combines both our families is attending Denver Broncos games together as one big family. We love cheering and making memories while watching our favorite team.

Both of our families are looking forward to welcoming this child into our family and showering them with much love.

We live in a suburb west of Denver. We live at the base of the mountains which means we have plenty of opportunities to either spend time in the city or escape away to the mountains.

We moved into this house a year ago to come back to the community that Kelsey grew up in. The community is diverse and extremely welcoming to all and supportive of local schools and service organizations. We are within walking distance of all the schools your child will attend as well as wonderful parks and many hiking trails.

Our home is in a small cul-de-sac in a nice quiet neighborhood. We have a huge backyard where we love to throw a lacrosse ball or enjoy evenings by our fire pit. Our home is decorated with our favorite things, including Legos, Disney and animal art.

During the holidays we love to decorate our house with many lights to bring joy and brighten the holiday spirit for everyone in our neighborhood.

First of all, we want to thank you for taking the time to look over our profile. We can't even begin to imagine how challenging it is to make such a hard decision and we know that you are making it with your child's best interest at heart and because you love them so much. Although we have not met you yet, know that our hearts are with you and we are here to support you in whatever way you need. We are also very excited at the prospect of being parents.

We know this is one of the most difficult decisions you will ever have to make, and we would like you to know that we are open to and encourage any communication you would like to help you make this important decision.

We have been married 8 years and one of the founding pieces of our relationship was that we wanted to have a family. Since Craig is an Elementary Physical Education teacher, he will have the ability to support your child throughout their formative years since they will be able to attend the same school. Kelsey works at the local zoo, so your child will have the opportunity to develop a love and understanding of animals from around the world. We both have a love for sports and music, which we hope to pass those loves equally to this child.

We will provide a warm and stable household for your child, filled with love, laughter and adventure. We will help them grow into an individual who has self worth and confidence in who they are. As a couple we strive to be philanthropic in our community and that is also something that we hope to pass on to your child. We know that we will love and support them to grow up to be a kind, caring and beautiful human.

Our family and friends are so excited and supportive of us adding a new member to our household. Since we recently moved into a house within minutes of Kelsey's parents house, we visit often for game nights, celebrations, or dinners. Craig's family lives a few hours away, but we see them regularly for one of our favorite activities, Broncos games. Broncos games is a time where both of our families get to be together and we look forward to the day when we can share this love and passion with your child.

Should you choose, we will send letters and photos that mark milestones and achievements throughout your child's growth. We would also love the opportunity to communicate with emails, phone calls and video calls so that your child can learn more about you since you are an important part of your child's identity.

Our home is ready for little feet to be padding around the floors and playing in the backyard. We are so grateful for the time you took to get to know us a little better. We look forward to getting to know more about you and your family, so we can share that with your child. Thank you so much for your consideration!
