Larry & Kelly

Hi! We are Larry & Kelly. Our journey together began in 2009 when we both reluctantly agreed to allow a coworker to setup us up on a date. However, she proved to be right, and it didn’t take long to realize we were each other’s best friend and wanted to begin a life together and expand our family unit. We love engaging with the natural world around us, through boating, beaching, running, hiking, cycling, camping, travel, creating art and mostly by any activity that brings us laughter. Larry grew up in rural Ohio, served in the Navy, and started a business focused on IT and business system support. Kelly grew up in coastal Virginia, and now works in communications for a state agency with a long history of prior work in nonprofits. We live our lives based on the simple values of kindness, integrity and love.

Lauren & Craig

Hey! We are the Mason Family from Richmond, Virginia. Craig and Lauren met in college at James Madison University. We got married shortly after graduating and decided to plant roots in Richmond. Both of our parents also live in the area and are a great support to us. Craig works as a physical therapist and currently manages an outpatient orthopedic clinic. He enjoys playing pickleball, cheering for JMU athletics, and playing board games. Lauren was a Special Education Teacher and then decided to be a stay at home Mom for a few years. She recently started working part-time as an admissions coordinator at a private day school in the Richmond area. She loves hosting people for dinner, running, throwing birthday parties, and reading.

We have two children, Silas (4) and Lydia (2.5). Silas is an old soul and loves to read books, create pretend games, and help his Mom cook. Lydia is the life of the party and loves to dance, play with whatever her older brother has, and create art. As a family, we enjoy hiking and going out on the river in our kayaks. We have a strong community of friends who have children around the same age and have committed to share in the parenting journey together.
