We are Jeff, Laura, Olivia and Sophie. Our love for each other continues to grow and we are each other’s best friends. We want to extend our love by expanding our family. I am now a stay a home Mom, but worked for a non-profit organization that focused on education for kids k-12 grade for 21 years.
Jeff was an Elementary School Principal with many years of experience. Also, Jeff was an Elementary School Teacher. He now works part-time at the St. Norbert College Library. Laura is a stay at home mom.
We feel the key to success is our families and friends. We both come from close-knit families. Jeff was raised in South Milwaukee. Jeff has 4 children from a previous marriage. Laura was raised in De Pere, WI and comes from a large family of 7 children. No matter how busy we are family always remains a priority. We often get together with our extended families. We have nieces and nephews of various ages who provide love, laughter, encouragement and guidance. This strong family relationship is why we want to share our love for each other with new children.
We have a very nice large home. We have a nice backyard for kids to run and play. We chose this community because it is a safe environment and a great area to raise a family. Many of my friends left the area years ago but moved back here because of that!
Laura and Jeff share many interests; Spending time with family and friends, love of music, concerts, art museums, antiquing and the outdoors. We feel that staying active, being happy and having a positive outlook is essential to good health. Jeff loves playing golf and working out at the gym. Jeff is very active with our children’s events and has coached basketball for fifth graders. Laura loves baking, landscaping around the house, interior decorating and the performing arts. Travel is another one of our common interest. We both have traveled throughout the U.S. Our travels have taught us a lot about the world and people.
We both have outgoing personalities and are self-assured in social situations. We both make friends easily and have a natural talent for putting people at ease. We feel humor is an essential part of life and we can laugh at ourselves as much as we laugh with others. We value education and enjoy watching children grow, discover and develop.
Preference Description
