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!

Crazy Days!

Talon has started taking his arm out of his pajamas at night time when we put him in long sleeves. We find him like this in his crib ALL the time.


Then the other day, we went in to get him and he had managed to pull both arms through the neck hole and turn his shirt all the way around. Notice how the tag is now in the front?!?!




Even when he wears this kind of pajamas with a tighter neck, he still manages to get an arm out.


At least Carter keeps his clothes on! Although he did decide to stick his hands down into his pants the other morning while he was poopy and got poop all over his sheets, hands and face. So disgusting! I think I would much rather him take off his clothes than for him to touch his messy diaper;)





After Carter made a mess, I had to give him a bath. Talon loves the water and so I can never bathe Carter without Talon. Unfortunately, Talon has started this new thing where as soon as I stick him in the bathtub, he pees. Then Carter decides to throw my hair brush in the water so that now it is drenched and it's in the pee water. Awesome! At least pee is sterile.

I can honestly say that daylight savings time is awful with little kids. I now know what all my friends were talking about. They have been so grouchy because their whole schedule has been thrown off. Before when they were really little it didn't matter but now it just messes up everything. Trying to get them back on their 9pm-9am is really difficult. Yesterday they woke up a whole hour early and were a crying mess the entire day. Today has been MUCH better. We put them down at 8:30pm and then they woke up at 8:30am so at least they got their full 12 hours. It's amazing what missing one hour of sleep at night can do to a toddler.

Carter is also getting two molars in on the top and Talon cut the inside of his mouth pretty bad yesterday with his tooth when he tripped and fell. Yesterday was just a hard day for everyone!

So my boys are so funny. I had some Tylenol to give Carter since he is teething and as soon as he sees the medicine, he lays down flat on the floor so I can administer it to him. Then Talon sees it and lays down on the floor as well. I sure hope my boys continue to love taking their medicine the way they do because at least I won't ever have to force them to take it.
