Crystal and Chris Ryan

We share a wide variety of interests like model railroading, watching movies, exploring and spending time with family and friends. Our family celebrates various holidays and we enjoy decorating the house to add to the fun. We look forward to taking our child to places like Disneyland, Legoland, and SeaWorld which are near our home. We love to travel all over the United States and to different parts of the world to learn about unique cultures and see amazing things. We plan to share our joy of travel by taking our child to places like Niagara Falls, Europe, the Grand Canyon, and Hawaii.

Like children, we have a curiosity about how things operate and how they are made. We can’t wait to take our child on a train ride for the first time or to visit a children’s museum. We go out of our way to visit places that make things like pretzels, automobiles, chocolate, and cheese. How fun it will be to see our child’s face light up the first time we see a pretzel come out of the oven or an automobile go from individual parts to a whole car a family can ride in. Recently, we visited a butterfly house and thought about how thrilling it will be to take our child there! We can’t wait to experience these things through our child’s eyes!

Our community is family oriented and our clubhouse hosts many events throughout the year which is a wonderful way to meet other families in our community.

We enjoy boating on the community lake and are excited about sharing this wonderful pastime with our child. The annual Holiday of Lights boat parade in December is spectacular. The clubhouse provides cookies and cocoa to enjoy while watching the boat parade. We especially enjoy boating during the holidays when all the houses on the lake have been decorated so beautifully.

Crystal's parents live close by and we do lots of things together. They love being grandparents and look forward to welcoming our baby into the family.

Crystal's brother and his family live in Southern California. Time spent with our nephew and niece includes games, swimming, boating and reading bedtime stories together.

Chris' brother lives in New York with his wife and they can't wait to become an uncle and aunt! They love coming to California to visit.

We will provide a nurturing environment so our child can succeed, know right from wrong and receive a good education. We will instill in our child good morals and values such as honesty and compassion for others. We want to teach our child how to handle the ups and downs of life with confidence. Most of all our child will be surrounded by unconditional love and be encouraged to enjoy life and all of its wonders.
