About Our Family
Meet The Jarvis Family!
Matt and I met when we were 15. After striking up one heck of a fun friendship, Matt and I realized we kind of matched perfectly. This semi-shy football boy and loud silly track gal were destined to balance each other for life! After a high school courtship, college, a summer wedding in 2006, we moved to Kansas City to pursue Matt's pharmacy school education, and career.
After pharmacy school, our sweet daughter Tallan Hope was born, and what a blessing she has been! 2 years later, we prepared for the arrival of our second daughter, Piper Grace...and our lives took a turn. We continue each day with grateful hearts, that God brought us this far, that Piper's story can do big things. We are so happy to have such wonderful support in people like YOU!

Meet PiperPiper Grace wasn't supposed to live after being born. A diaphram defect, holes in her heart, and underdeveloped lungs left her chances slim. We prayed for peace as we delivered our girl into this world, only to say goodbye.
Piper came, and lived. She suprised everyone and thrived for 10 months on Earth. She came to teach, to show us how to love, how to pray for others, how to hope when things are futile. She taught us to love freaking hard and to cherish every moment. Thanks, Pipes!
