Aurora, a sophomore in high school, enjoys history, film, and Spanish. She loves fashion, popular culture, music, reading, and spending time with friends – in person and on Facebook.

Stephanie attends college far enough away to be independent, but close enough to visit monthly. She’s majoring in communication and likes languages such as Spanish and Portuguese, music, bicycling, and travel (she plans to study in Brazil).

Both are creative, smart, and funny. They are eager to have a younger sibling, and will be amazing big sisters.

You and your baby will be welcomed by four caring grandparents, many aunts, uncles, and wonderful cousins – our pre-school nephew Liam, and adorable young nieces: Julia, Ellie, Hanna, and Heidi.

We spend holidays and vacations with family in rural Tennessee, Manhattan, and Florida 3-4 times a year, and they often visit us.

Between big sisters, neighborhood kids, our friends’ children, and all those relatives, the new Kastenette will have many great pals of all ages.
