Our Family

Ryan

This is my rock star husband. A man who loves me and cherishes me as Christ commands, an amazing father to my children, the hardest working man I know. Ryan is the most selfless, humble person and takes great joy in serving others. He loves to fish, build things, play endlessly with his kids, (he just told me to add poetry & long walks in the park, lol:) And goodness he makes me laugh. He's funny, and he doesn't mean to be. I pray every night that my daughter will marry a man just like him and my son will grow up to be just like him. He spoils us rotten & I am crazy about this man.

Dylan

This, friends, is my man child, Dylan Cole. Oh, how I love this boy. For only 8 years old, his waters runneth deep! He has been supernaturally gifted with the ability to rock the drums better than Ringo Starr and he is incessantly humming or singing his favorite tune. The boy bleeds music.  He is so much like his Papa it's scary.  He is also a die hard baseball kid and let me tell you, the kid can play some ball! He still loves to play trains and hot wheels with his best friend, Case and he is ferociously protective of his little sister. He has the BESTEST hugs, and I love his compassion and ability to genuinely feel for others. Dylan absolutely cannot wait for "Little Krause" to join our family and has yet to mention one reservation about this adoption. He only sees the beautiful blessing of giving a child a new life. I. LOVE. THIS. BOY.

Ella Bella

This, is my beautiful daughter, Ella Nadine. To be in her presence is to be abundantly blessed. She is a wild and free spirit only tamed by her love for Jesus. I don't see myself ever having to worry about this girl. She is strong and confident and will stand up for what is right when no one else does. She has a servant's heart like her daddy and she's a giver to a fault. Ella will gladly give you her last bite of cookie, really, she'd love to give you the whole thing! She loves to dance and twirl and does so with the grace of a trained ballerina. Have I mentioned she loves clothes? The child changes outfits 20 times a day. She's a born Fashionista and most days gives ME wardrobe advice. She always has a song in her heart and on her lips, just like her brother. (and mommy, and papa, and uncle cole;). She was made to be a mommy and her nurturing spirit shines in the way she loves and cares for others. She will be the most amazing big sister to "Little Krause"! My daughter is captivating, inside and out. And let's face it, those angel kisses we call freckles, don't hurt a bit! I. LOVE. THIS. GIRL.

little krause coming soon!
