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!

Tiger, Lions and Bears...oh my!

Last Saturday, Daniel and I went to the Fort Worth Zoo with Emily, Jeremy and Molly. I had wanted to go for some time now and found out that Emily also wanted to go. So I took advantage of it since Daniel would be more willing to go if we went with Emily and her family. I am so glad that we picked that weekend to go because we couldn't have asked for better weather. We were there for several hours and didn't even break a sweat. All the animals were out and were all very active. My favorite of course were the lions because they were all loving up on each other and then the male and female got mad at each other and so the male stood up and peed right on the female lion. Then the male lion started growling really loud and the female joined in. Seeing that was the best part of the whole zoo experience.
