Ryan & Meaghan

Introduction
Our story began when we swiped right. From that moment on the rest is history. We grew closer through many late-night conversations and story sharing. Meaghan still thanks her lucky star in heaven for pushing us to go on our first date because 8 years later here we are looking to start a family!

Our Parenting Style
We currently do not have a parenting style set in place. We believe that every child learns rules differently. We will adjust our parenting style as needed based on the child's unique needs.
Our Story
Our Home
We currently live in a rural area but one day hope to move to the country where we are able to let our children run and explore the beautiful outdoors our world has to offer. We have a large backyard for the kids to explore and play in the rather large sandbox Ryan built on his own. We look forward to the day we can see our own children playing in the sandbox right along with all of the daycare children.
Our Nursery
Our nursery was Meaghan's pride and joy. She was very passionate about getting it to be a room we can bring a baby home to and have them love it just as much! Meaghan did have Ryan give his input when it came time to choosing the theme of farm animals or zoo animals and without skipping a beat he chose farm animals. I guess that's what happens when you both grow up in farming communities.
Our Pets
Rex is a Chocolate Labrador Retriever. When he wants to have energy, he has the zoomies to no end otherwise he is well mannered relaxed dog! He absolutely adores the daycare kids and is so gentle with them. He loves to hunt and swim. He can be a cuddle bug when he wants to and loves to have his head and ears rubbed.
Our Family
Our family currently consists of Ryan, Meaghan, and our dog Rex. We both have large extended families from all over the country with most of them remaining around Minnesota. We are blessed to remain close with our siblings, especially Ryan’s sisters. We have 6 nephews and 3 nieces. In August of 2022 shortly after we were married, we got a chocolate lab who Meaghan chose the name Rex and Ryan instantly loved it because his name started with an “R”. Rex quickly stole our hearts, and he remains a very important fixture in our everyday lives.
More About Us
Our extended families are so very excited to be on this journey with us and to hopefully one day meet a beautiful bundle of joy. Your baby will be loved by two sets of grandparents, two aunts, three uncles, and nine cousins. Along with two great grandmas, endless great aunts and uncles and an abundance of second cousins.
