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!

Half Way Done

Last Saturday we started working on the shelving in our closets. We've decided to put in three extra shelves for the guest bedroom closet and then do a ton of shelves in our closet. We got one almost completely done. The only thing left to do is secure it down.



The only thing left to do is secure it down.



The other shelf on the other side of the closet needs to be sanded down a little bit, then we need to paint it and secure it to the wall.


And this is where it will go.


I wish we had a picture of our closet from when we first moved into our house. When we moved in we just had three rods for clothes and a shelf above each rod. But thanks to Daniel's handy man skills we now we have 5 rods for clothes.

Daniel added this top rod for our winter clothes.


And added a second rod for my clothes:)


We still have quite a bit of work left to do not to mention a lot of organizing but we are almost there. Whoever ends up buying our house one day is going to love all the extra shelves for storage we have added.
