Adoption of Nicole

Happily, on a beautiful day in September, 2010, we received the most wonderful gift a couple could wish for- our amazing daughter Nicole. The love we have for Nicole is endless. We spoil her with hugs and kisses constantly. Nicole has added incredible joy to our lives with her energetic, friendly demeanor. Nicole has introduced us to many neighbors in the building with her waves and smiles. We enjoy taking regular walks together to the many local parks.

As a family of three we are very active and love life. We go together to music class on Saturday mornings. Nicole starts to dance immediately when she hears a song. Mary’s family enjoys dancing and has a yearly tradition to go to a German restaurant and dance the polka. Nicole has so much fun she does not want to leave. Going to church or the grocery store are even fun events for Nicole. The zoo is one of Nicole’s favorite play dates. The Shedd Aquarium is another place we like taking Nicole. Playing hide and seek and running with Nicole in our hallway are a couple of the simple fun ways we value our time together. We are eager to include another child in our loving, fun events and look forward to Nicole becoming a wonderful Big Sister!

We have had the privilege to go on multiple family trips together. Our first trip with Nicole was to Arizona where Nicole had her first dip in the pool and since then loves the water. In fact, baths are one of Nicole’s favorite things to do. We are fortunate to have a close family that enjoys traveling together and Nicole cherishes every opportunity to play with her cousins. Nicole adores other children and anxiously awaits a sibling.
