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!

Pool Time

I went to the neighborhood pool today with some of my friends and all of our kids. A total of 4 adults and 13 kids. I think we need to start doing this once a week because my kids had a blast. It was also nice for me since Daniel has been out of town and without a phone. One of the older girls fell in love with my boys. She played and carried one around the entire time. My friends kept telling me that they've never seen such mellow boys. I always have people telling me that. I guess I got really lucky that my kids are so well behaved and calm.

We played in the big pool on the steps for a while and then went over to the splash pad.


Carter showing me his toy. He held on to these two toys the entire two hours we were there. Every one got a kick out of him because he wouldn't even put them down to get a drink. He expected me to just put it in his mouth so he could take a sip.




Talon loves the water!




Our little helper! She was great with them and I told her she is more than welcome to come over whenever she wants to play with them. Boy did she get excited when I told her that!
