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!

House Projects

Daniel and I decided to do a few house projects over the weekend that needed to be done. The first was to touch up the ceiling in the study. We had gotten a little bit of paint on the ceiling and I've been wanting to fix it because it was driving me crazy. We have to use the tall ladder since the desk was in the way. The ladder weighs a ton and so I couldn't do it without Daniel. It looks much better now!



We also did another painting project. Daniel had made a shelf for our shoes a while back but we never painted it and so we painted the shelf to match the walls in our closet so it doesn't stand out so much.

As I was taking off all the shoes to bring the shelf outside, I realized that we have way too many pairs of shoes! I was just trying to think of where we put all of our shoes before Daniel made this. Of course I probably have a lot more shoes than him but mine are also a lot smaller and so they take up less room. We probably have enough shoes to fill another one of these...I might just ask if he'll make me another one!
