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!

Kauai - Part 2

Saturday:
Daniel and I got up early and headed over to the lighthouse. We got some good pictures and then headed back to pick up my parents. They wanted to see the lighthouse too so we went back and actually paid the fee to go all the way to where the lighthouse was. It was totally worth it because it was beautiful and we got to see some whales.















Since we were already in the North part of the island, we decided to go visit a few beaches.






We found this cool cave!


We spent the rest of the day shopping, eating shaved ice and exploring.

This bird was just hanging out outside of the pizza restaurant we went to.



The sunset on Ke'e beach which is as far as you can go on the north shore.






Sunday:
On Sunday my parents went over to the Big Island and Daniel and I stayed in Kauai. Daniel got up early and took my parents to the airport while I stayed at the hotel and slept in! He did lots of exploring including climbing up a coconut tree, getting a coconut and cracking it open to eat. He brought it home and it was so good.



Surfers!




Daniel got a little dirty on his adventure!!! Gross!


After he got back, we headed down South to go to a few beaches. Of course, Daniel went snorkeling while I laid out. At the beach, there was a seal taking a nap on the beach...so cool.



After we were done with the beach, we decided to go on a little hike. It was beautiful and so perfect outside. I even got to see some more whales!



We found a little cave that lead straight out to the water. I was too scared to go into it because it was really steep but nothing stops Daniel.
