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!

Les Miserables

Daniel and I went down to Houston to go see Les Miserables thanks to Hurricane Ike. My parents had plans to see a play the weekend that Ike decided to come and so their play of course got canceled. They could either get extra tickets to any other play coming this season or get their money back. They were kind enough to offer the tickets to us if we wanted to see anything. We keep telling them that they don't have to bribe us for us to come visit, but oh well! Just joking. It was a hard decision trying to figure out which play we wanted to see but I decided on Les Miserables since I've heard really good things about it and I like the music in it.

Daniel and I drove down to Houston on Friday night and spent the night with my parents. The play was in the early afternoon and we had seats right in the middle on the second row. So you could see all their facial expressions along with their lovely spit as they sang. It was a great play and I really enjoyed it.



After the play, we went straight over to my brother, John's house. He still needed more help with painting and well we all know how much I enjoy that. So we changed our clothes and painted the hallway up the stairs. We had plans on painting the kitchen, but John was able to get that done earlier that week. Daniel and I also hung up some pictures in his house that we bought for him and did a few other small things for him. His house is really coming together and is looking really nice. Now I just need to get some pictures of it. I just keep forgetting!
