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!

4th of July - part 2

We decided to go down to Houston for the 4th of July. It was kind of a last minute decision. We left on Friday afternoon after we were done kayaking and headed to Houston. We stopped by at my brother John's house first since his place is on the way. We didn't know if my parents would be at the house yet. So while we waited, we went and grabbed a bite to eat at Arby's. Then later we got a phone call saying they were home so we headed over to their house.

We really didn't do much that night but hang out and talk. The next morning we woke up and my parents decided they wanted to go to Denny's to eat. After we got home, Daniel and I decided we wanted to go over to the mall to do some shopping. We got some sweet deals on some clothes.



After we left the outlet mall, we headed over to Daniel's cousin Melissa's house. We also got to spend some time with Brian and Tay. We ate lots of food, enjoyed each others company and watched some pretty fireworks.
