Meet the Team

As Hillary Clinton once said, “It take a village to raise a child.” Meet our Village. By no means is it all- inclusive. Aunts and Uncles were replaced by their much-cuter kids, many cousins were left out and several friends aren’t on the roster below, but we still appreciate them all very much! 

As Faith marks her big 6-month milestone today (Merry Christmas Eve), we thank God we are blessed with everyone who has been there for us this past half-year. It seems like just yesterday she was born!

Here’s to the next 6 months sure to be full of fun! Life as a Lindquist is good. Now meet the team.
