Thankful that my parents exposed me to travel as a kid, I’m excited to show our children the beauty of new places and different cultures. I love art, brunch, and slow mornings. I’m challenged by my need to keep the crew organized with my desire to be more “fun”. I’m really looking forward to being back in Cambodia, and super excited to meet people around the world.

Inspired by a college professor’s challenge to live outside the country for at least a year, Charlie planned our phenomenal month long honeymoon in Europe the summer of 2007 and got a taste of international travel. He has championed for this RTW trip for several years and is really looking forward to returning to Uganda where he served in 2014.

Filled with joy and wonder, our firstborn is a wealth of knowledge. She has a hunger for learning and a remarkable memory. She’s a talented artist, vegetarian by her own accord, and enjoys soccer and composing music in her free time. You can also find her as co-host on the podcast, “Sisters of Snacks”. She has a long list of experiences that she’s most excited for on our RTW adventures, topped by experiencing how other people live in the world, seeing penguins in Antarctica, Conwy Castle in Wales, and the Rainbow Mountains of Peru.

A deep thinker and gifted at connecting stories and experiences to God’s Truths, Tre frequently amazes us with his thoughts and challenges us with his questions. His favorite subject is Humanities, and his natural draw to music has him really enjoying learning piano and guitar. He utilizes his creative skills thru video editing and is a huge fan of Dude Perfect, which has been an inspiration for the neighborhood group the boys participate in, calling themselves “The Knuckleheads”. Somewhere in there he also manages to play basketball, golf and baseball. Tre is looking forward to visiting the Coliseum in Rome.

His compassionate heart makes Crosby a natural at connecting to people, and his sense of humor draws them in deeper. As a toddler he was always drawn to puzzles, and that has rolled over to serve him in his keen problem-solving skills. Cros has recently taken up the drums, which fits his strong personality beautifully. He’s a beast on the basketball court and loves playing for the Reds in little league, which happens to also be his favorite major league team. He is excited to visit Australia and see animals that aren’t native to the US.
