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!

Family Time

Our boys LOVE to be outside so Daniel has been taking them on little hikes behind our house recently (all we have is land behind us). Daniel took both boys, on separate trips, on a little adventure but forgot to get a picture of Talon. So here are 2 of my 3 handsome boys!
Talon was super quiet and still the entire time while Carter was moving, talking and pointing to everything. I love how different they are from each other.


So today we decided to all go on a family hike since I recently got a backpack carrier and the weather was beautiful. It was much easier than expected to carry one of the boys on my back and we had a great time exploring.


I love this look that Talon is giving Daniel.


After we got back, we let the boys play in the backyard for a little bit. Our next door neighbor's little girls were outside playing and the boys were enjoying all the attention the girls were giving them. It was so fun watching them interact with the girls.
Carter had fun pointing to all the birds flying around. In a few months, we are having a little college reunion of all my best friends and we have plans to go to the zoo. I haven't seen some of my friends in years and we all have 1 or 2 kids (which I also have never met). I am so excited to see everyone and I can't wait to see how excited my boys are going to be over all the animals.
