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!

Identical Twins...

I have to thank my very supportive wife. I have to say, I love being involved with Scouts. Not only are the boys a lot of fun, but now I have a perfect excuse. It usually goes like this..."Oh man I want some new (insert some sort of outdoor gear), but I can't justify getting it. Oh wait, I can buy this because I can also use it for scouts!" (even if I never will).

Recently more of my money than is reasonable has all been going to the following places...

backcountry.com
REI
rei.com
steepandcheap.com

Fortunately, I've been able to get pretty much all the gear I need for for rock climbing/rappelling in the last month or two, plus a few shoes, clothes, biking gear, and some other random stuff. My most recent purchase was two brand new kayaks. We got two yellow 13' Necky Manitou Kayaks.


I already park my car in the driveway. I may have to start parking Laura's outside as well so I can free up space in the garage...Just joking. I did have to devise a fairly simple way to store the kayaks in our garage.
