Hi we are the Andersons & The Arbours. We refer to ourselves as the A-Team. In the fall of 2020 Andrew’s sister and our brother-in-law were killed instantly in a car crash (both 39). They left behind for minor children. We dropped everything and relocated to Texas to take in our three nephews and niece. We now have a nine person family with kids ages five to seventeen.

Before the crash the Anderson five were a full time travel family, exploring the US in a camper and spending as much time together as we could.

Raising seven children is something we never thought would be on our path. The Arbours having a different set of adults raising them is something they never thought they would experience. We are all learning our new normal in this first year of change. However, all seven kids are AMAZING. They are strong, smart, resilient, and so fun to be around. We have done our best to pick up this healing family and travel as much as possible. Thankfully, the kids seem to enjoy our adventure-seeking passions with us. Stay tuned as we work out the next steps for our family and do our best to provide this family with love, adventure, and a compelling future.
