• How do you even begin to thank someone who has already given you everything you’ve ever dreamed of and then chooses to do it all over again?

The truth is, there aren’t enough words.

Because of you, we became parents. You brought our sweet Sage into this world and changed our lives forever. You gave us the greatest gift we’ve ever known.

And now, somehow, you’ve chosen to walk beside us again, this time carrying our daughter. It still doesn’t feel real that someone with a heart as generous as yours exists.

Thank you for every appointment, every injection, every kick, every milestone, every sacrifice, every moment away from your own family, and every ounce of love you’ve poured into ours. Thank you for believing in our dream just as much as we did.

People often say that surrogates are angels, but we have the privilege of knowing that you’re so much more than that. You’re family.

We truly hit the jackpot. Not just because of the two beautiful lives you’ve helped bring into ours, but because our children will grow up knowing the incredible woman who carried them, loved them before they ever took their first breath, and forever changed our family.

Sage already adores you. Baby Girl already has the best beginning because of you. We hope they always know your story. We hope they always understand what an extraordinary gift you’ve given them, and us.

There will never be enough thank yous for what you’ve done, but we’ll spend a lifetime trying.

We love you more than words could ever say. 🤍 taken in Temple, Texas by @degs81

• There is so much love growing around here... 🤍

Our greatest dream has always been to build a family, and seeing that dream become our reality is something we’ll never take for granted.

This November, our hearts (and home) are getting even fuller as we welcome our sweet baby GIRL. 💕

Our sweet Sage is already stepping into his new role as Big Brother, and we already know he’ll fill it with so much love, laughter, and just the right amount of mischief.

She doesn’t even know it yet, but she’s already made our family feel even more complete, and we can’t wait to watch her grow alongside her very best friend.

We can’t wait to meet you, Baby Girl.

See you on 11.11 💕

• Hay tanto amor creciendo por aquí... 🤍

Nuestro mayor sueño siempre ha sido formar una familia, y ver cómo ese sueño se convierte en realidad es algo maravilloso.

Este Noviembre, nuestros Corazones (y nuestro hogar) se llenarán aún más con la llegada de nuestra dulce NIÑA. 💕

Nuestro querido Sage ya está comenzando su nuevo papel como hermano mayor, y sabemos que lo llenará de muchísimo amor, risas y la cantidad perfecta de travesuras.

Ella todavía no lo sabe, pero ya ha hecho que nuestra familia se sienta aún más completa, y no podemos esperar para verla crecer junto a su mejor amigo para toda la vida.

Locos por conocerte, princesa.

Nos vemos el 11.11. 💕 taken in Temple, Texas by @degs81

Happy Father’s Day my love!! Of all the roles you’ve played, being Sage’s Papa is your best one by far.

You make fatherhood look effortless, even though everyone knows it’s anything but. The patience, the late nights, the endless energy, the cuddles, the diaper changes, the songs, the silly voices, the way you show up every single day with your whole heart..it never goes unnoticed.

You were my world long before Sage arrived, and now you’re his too. The two people who love you most get to experience firsthand what an incredible human being you are. We would be so lost without you.

Watching you become a dad has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Sage is so lucky to have a Papa who loves him so fiercely, teaches him so gently, and makes him laugh so easily.

We celebrate you every day, not just today.

Feliz Día del Padre, mi amor. Gracias por ser el corazón de nuestra familia, nuestro lugar seguro y el mejor ejemplo de amor que Sage podría tener. Te amamos más de lo que las palabras pueden decir. ❤️ taken in Lake Balboa by @degs81

• Happy Father’s Day, babe. ❤️🧿

I seriously can’t believe we’ve already celebrated Father’s Day with our son twice. It feels like we waited so long for this moment, and now here we are getting to live the life we always dreamed of.

One of my favorite things is watching you be Sage’s dad. Every day I learn something from you. Your patience, the way you love him so deeply, how present you are with him, and the way you always make him feel safe it makes me want to be a better father too.

We always knew we wanted to be dads, but nothing could have prepared us for how much joy Sage would bring into our lives. Sharing fatherhood with you has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. I honestly couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone else.

Thank you for being the best partner and the most incredible dad to our little boy. Watching our family grow has been the greatest gift, and I can’t wait to keep making memories together. 😘

Happy Father’s Day. I love you more than you’ll ever know. taken in Lake Balboa by @degs81

• Easter magic at Underwood Family Farms 🌸🐣

Sunshine, tiny hands in the dirt, bunny sightings, and a whole lot of giggles. Watching Sage take it all in made the day feel even sweeter. Grateful for simple moments, fresh air, and family traditions in the making 💛
