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!

Sleep Deprived!

I've been really tired these past few days because Carter has decided that he doesn't want to sleep through the night right now. I got up early the other morning to make Carter a bottle and Daniel found this later after he got up.



The funny thing was that I didn't even realize I poured half of it on the towel.

Then later that day I was preparing bottles. We use the playtex bottles with the liners. I completely forgot to put a liner in one of the bottles and poured water all over the counter.

Carter and Talon are on two different formulas. I was making a bottle for Carter and accidentally made a bottle for Talon instead. Luckily, I realized it before I gave Carter Talon's formula. That would have been bad since Carter can't handle Talon's formula.

But on the bright side, Carter slept through the night last night!!!! I fed him at 9:22pm and put him down right after wards and he didn't wake up till 7am.
