Welcome

Hello, we are Timmy and Tucker! We have always hoped that we would be parents someday, even before meeting each other. As parents we look forward to teaching values of honesty and strong moral character in a family centered in love. Our goal is to raise a healthy child so they can reach their fullest potential and live a life full of happiness and love. We hope to include you in the child’s life in whatever way feels most comfortable to you.

 

A Little About Tucker (By Timmy)

Tucker is the most optimistic person you’ll ever meet. His positive energy is one the of many things about him that I fell in love with. He is a thoughtful and patient person which is why he is such a great teacher and why I know he’ll be a wonderful Dad!

He is incredibly passionate about education, and he always found a way to make learning physics and chemistry fun for his students that he used to teach at Chaska High School. Currently he is a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, though he was a teacher for many years. When he’s not studying or teaching, he’s getting involved on campus or playing timpani for a local community symphony.

In his summer breaks he will usually be sitting around a campfire with a sci-fi or fantasy book, cross-stitching, gardening or training our wonderful Border Collie. His favorite book series is Lord of the Rings. He enjoys a good Dungeons and Dragons campaign every now and then with friends and he is usually listening to the latest Adventure Zone podcast.

I know parenting will come naturally to him since he knows so much already about how to nurture creativity and growth in children. I’m the luckiest man in the world to call Tucker my husband and I’m excited for the day when he can be both a husband and Dad.

 

A Little About Timmy (By Tucker)

Timmy is a fun-loving energetic guy! When we met, it did not take me long to know that he would be my life partner. He is a very skilled engineer and an even better husband. I believe Timmy to be the most thoughtful person in my life; he pays attention to the little things.

When at home, Timmy enjoys spending his time reading science fiction books, tinkering on various projects around the house, creating things that are useful and repurposing old electronics. Some examples of things Timmy has created include using a raspberry pi to make an “ad free safe space” on our home internet network and using an Arduino microprocessor to make a “moisture meter” to check the moisture levels in the soil of my houseplants.

I know Timmy is going to make a great dad! Timmy will ensure that any child under our care will have the best childhood possible. He will think of every different way that our child can be cared for best and make sure that happens. Timmy’s love and compassion is endless and is ready to be poured into all that comes with raising a child.

 

Family

Family is one of the most important things to us. We come up with any excuse to hang out
as a family because we enjoy the quality time spent together. We frequently visit Tucker’s parents, sister, and brother-in-law. We enjoy celebrating holidays, camping, and just random fun times as a family. We managed to keep our family traditions and connections strong while staying safe during the pandemic. We had outdoor hangouts when it was nice outside and virtual game nights when it was not nice out. We are so happy to be back to having family gatherings like we remember.

 

Hobbies and Traditions

We enjoy doing a lot of things together, but we also have our individual passions. Some things we enjoy doing together include playing board games, adventuring outdoors, cooking plant- based meals, and laughing. Timmy enjoys general tinkering, making and repairing things that are useful and staying active by running. Timmy likes to joke that Tucker’s hobby is having hobbies, while Tucker likes to think of it as liking to try new things. Tucker has many hobbies, some of them are nurturing plants, cross-stitching, wood carving, 3d printing, dog training, and playing timpani in local symphonies.

We think it is important to find the bright spots in life and to celebrate that light. We love doing this by celebrating old traditions and by finding new traditions to begin. Some of our favorites are starting the camping season on Memorial Day Weekend, camping all through the summer and closing out the camping season in October.

Other fun traditions we have include making homemade apple cider in the fall and celebrating holidays with good food and even better company.

Our Home

We have a three-bedroom 1930’s-style house in Belle Plaine, MN. We love the quietness of living in a small rural town, though we frequently go to Chaska for things like work and getting takeout at local restaurants. Minneapolis is not much further away for the “big city” cultural activities like musicals, Orchestra Hall and museums. Our home is walking distance from many parks, schools, and trails.

Though the Belle Plaine schools are within walking distance from where
we live, we plan on open enrolling our child to the school district in Chaska where Tucker used to teach.

We love taking Kona to new and adventuous places. This is in a forest near Bemidiji, MN.

We were blessed to meet our niece Rowan soon after she was born.

Puma the Cat and Kona the Border Collie. These “sisters” love each other so much.
