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!

Busy Weekend!

Daniel is going out of town for 7 1/2 days and leaving tomorrow. When he got up this morning, he decided to check in online only to find out his flight was canceled. He called up the airline company and found out a bird had hit the airplane and so it was in the shop for repairs. He had to be in Utah by 9am tomorrow morning and so the only other flight he could take left tonight. So our relaxing day turned into a super busy day. He had to be at the airport by 6pm and we still had to do some last minute grocery shopping, finish packing and go visit my best friend, Deanna, who lives an hour away.

We were able to get it all in and ended up having a great day. We ended up getting out of our house at 1:30 and got to spend a few hours with Deanna before I had to take Daniel to the airport. This is Deanna's first child and it was so exciting seeing her baby boy, Mason. He is adorable and perfect. I can't believe how little he is and it is so hard to think that my boys were that small a little over a year ago. It made me really miss the newborn stage and made me even more excited to add another little one to our family.



And just in case you were wondering, Daniel is going to Gannett Peak in Wyoming for some mountain climbing with his dad and one of his dad's friends. Daniel usually goes on at least one hiking trip a year with his Dad since they both love that kind of stuff. He didn't get to go last year since the boys were only a few months old.
