We’re lucky to be surrounded by an incredible crew of kids who bring laughter, love and a whole lot of personality to our lives. From the stage to the ski slopes, the library to the Lego bin, each of them adds something uniquely wonderful to our family — and we’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter together.
Matilda (15)
Matilda is a high school sophomore with a passion for theatre, photography, music and skiing. Whether she’s behind the camera, on stage or out on the slopes, she brings focus, creativity, and energy to everything she does. With her sweet and sensitive nature, Matilda always knows how to make people feel heard and valued. She’s excited about the dance floor and thrilled to celebrate this next chapter with us.
Colton (13)
Colton is an 8th grader who loves reading, chess, Legos, games, running, playing the sax, skiing, all things Star Wars, and being outnumbered 4:1. He embraces being a teenager with his new twin (step)sister Meredith, including pushing the boundaries of appropriate conversation topics with Alan and Megan, but even as a teenage boy he still subtly sneaks in cuddle time with both of us. Colton hopes to be an Eagle Scout someday and he excels at school – he’s already talking about colleges and majors.
Meredith (13)
Meredith is an 8th grader with a flair for the dramatic — in the best way. She loves theatre, dance, and all things fashion, and she lights up any room she walks into. With her dry sense of humor, Meredith keeps us laughing and on our toes. When she’s not rehearsing for her next role or planning her outfit, she’s the family’s unofficial schedule keeper, always making sure we’re on track. She’s counting down the days to dress up and celebrate with everyone!
Hadley (11)
Hadley is a 6th grader with a huge heart and empathy for all people and animals. She enjoys skiing, theatre, music, changing her hair, and reading – Hadley has memorized everything about Harry Potter and Twilight, her current life goal is to be Bella Swan… Hadley has become a third big sister to Maggie Jo and she embraces being weird with “Stepmahmah.” Hadley will tell you that she’s not happy that she wasn’t asked to be our officiant, but she’s looking forward to celebrating with you!
Maggie (8)
Maggie is a 3rd grader with a big voice, big energy and an even bigger heart. She loves singing, dancing, theatre and just about anything that lets her be outside, especially skiing. Whether she’s putting on an impromptu show for us or gathering us all together to play charades, Maggie brings sunshine and sparkle wherever she goes. She can’t wait to celebrate — and she’s definitely ready for the dance floor!
