Welcome

We set up our adoption blog so you can get to know our family a little better. I started blogging back in 2007 and have kept up with it over the years. At the end of every year, we print off our blog for that year and give it to Daniel's mom for her Christmas present. She keeps all of her children's yearly journals in a notebook that we will get back one day to pass down to our kids. I try to keep it up to date as much as I can.


When we decided to start the adoption process, I decided to make an identical blog for birth mothers to read. Everything that I write about my family on our personal blog, I copy it over to my adoption blog. I understand that an adoption profile only gives limited information about us and we want you to have the opportunity to really get to know who we are and what we like to do as a family. Our adoption blog will show you who we were even before we adopted our boys. Feel free to read as much as you want or click on the links up above!

Cheerleading and family

This past weekend, I got to spend some time with my brother, David and his family. On Friday, I took my brother and his wife, Nena to The Children's Place at Grapevine Mills mall since they are expecting a little boy in June. They got some really great deals and almost everything they bought was $2-3. This place is huge and they have great sales. This is definitely where I'm going to go shopping when Daniel and I have children.

Nena coaches cheerleading and her squads were competing at a competition on Saturday and so I went to watch them with my brother and his daughter, Peyton. It was really fun to watch all the cheerleading and kind of made me miss the old days when I use to compete.
