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!

John bought a house!
The next day we got up and started packing up the moving truck and several cars. He had some buddies from work that were kind enough to give up their Saturdays to help him out so it didn't take long at all to unload everything. My mom, my friend, Autumn, and I headed off to Lowes to pick up some items that he needed and some paint. I think they sent the wrong sex because it took us a while to figure out where everything was. But we finally found it all and headed back to his place. I picked out a color that would look good in his family room/dining room (turned computer room now) and we got the whole room painted in a few hours. It goes by pretty fast when you have four people painting all at one time.
The next morning, Daniel and I woke up bright and early and headed back over to John's house to help him with a few more things for a couple of hours. Then we headed back home because we had our friends Deanna and Mark were meeting us at our house to spend the week with us.
