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!

Farewell Iceland...

Daniel and Laura's Planned Trip to Iceland

10/26/2008 - 1/7/2009


Our planned trip to Iceland did not survive this economic downturn due to severe complications of the American economy and the profusive monetary bleeding and hemoraging of the U.S. Federal Goverment. Things were looking up for a time when the dollar was regaining its strength daily compared to the Icelandic Krona which had itself suffered from a massive cardiac arrest. However, ultimately the spendthrift lifestyle and very loose living in the form of monetary policy by both the present administration and the projected spending of the incoming administration, the dollar's strength is reversing course and the prognosis does not look good.
