Oklahoma

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!

Oklahoma

We went up to visit Daniel's parents over the weekend. On Saturday, we went to visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial. Daniel and I have been wanting to go for a long time. We were really young when the bombing happened but we still remember it. Daniel and I would have been around 13 at the time.

This tree was the only tree that survived the bombing.

The reflecting pool occupies what was once the street next to the building.

The 168 chairs represent the lives that were taken. The row represents what floor they were on. The second floor is where the child day care was. So sad...
