Our Home
We bought our house in January 2020 and have put a lot of effort over the last few years to really make it home. It's a three bedroom ranch right in the middle of a quiet street. One of our favorite rooms is our cozy den that has a beautiful bay window on one end that displays our favorite photos, and a cushy built in reading nook under the opposite window that is perfect for reading stories or taking a nap in the sun. Our other favorite room to hang out in is our finished basement. We have a comfy couch and large TV for watching movies or games and also a full sized table for game nights with our friends and family. We also have a spacious yard that our three dogs love to run around in. We can't wait to see our child playing out back with the dogs or on a new swing set!
Best pals!

Our Neighborhood
We live on the north shore of Long Island, just south of a popular tourist/destination town. A quick ten minute drive brings us to the towns main street, filled with unique shops and restaurants, as well as parks and the waterfront. We love visiting the town with friends, family, our dogs, or just the two of us for a date night. Our neighborhood is peaceful and safe and is walking distance to the local schools and a park. Our town is small and has everything we need from shopping, groceries, library and recreation all within a five minute drive.
My sister and I took our dogs downtown for some dog-friendly icecream. They have the best soft serve in town!

Our Church
We have a strong support system not only in our families, but in our church family as well. We belong to a wonderful church that is led by one of the nicest and most genuine people we know. He helps us grow in our faith and leads by example in showing kindness and concern to everyone who he encounters, both inside and outside of church. The staff follows in his footsteps and fosters a wonderful and safe environment for children to learn and grow as well. They will play an important role reinforcing in our child the same values we aim to raise them with, compassion, kindness, forgiveness and love.
