The Colemans said they are looking forward to raising their children in Colorado. “We moved here so they could grow up with fresh air and mountains in their backyard,” said Michael Coleman. Hours after his birth, Auggie wore an infant cap with the words “Adventure Awaits” on it – the same one Jack wore after his birth.
