Our Family Both of our families (immediate and extended) live in the nearby Chicago suburbs. We are blessed to have such warm, caring and compassionate parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins close by. We are very family-oriented, so naturally, everyone looks forward to us expanding our family and they are ready to spring into action when we need a little extra support. In addition, we value our relationships with our siblings, nieces and nephews and try to see them as much as possible. Adam and I have a close group of friends that meet often. We have a standing, once a month date with them where we play cards, eat, and just enjoy each other’s company. Our family and friends mean the world to us. Everyone has embraced Nicole with love and affection and looks forward to welcoming our next child.
