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!

New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve was beautiful here in Texas and so we spent the afternoon playing outside. Daniel was able to capture some adorable pictures of our boys! We love them so much and think they are the cutest boys out there! Of course we may be a tiny bit biased;)

2011 was an amazing year! Probably the best year Daniel and I have ever had. I really don't think it could have been any better and we just had so much fun enjoying our little family.

I'm just going to say it...He might be the cutest kid out there (of course tying with Carter). Perfect skin, rosy cheeks, adorable dimple...ladies watch out!

If we can ever get a clear photo of him, it's usually when he is laughing. He is always happy, always laughing, and always willing to give hugs. Carter has the best smile ever!


Such determination in his face....this is so Carter. He is a determined little boy and always on the go.

How cute is this face?!?!



I still get choked up when I remember the feelings I had staring at him for the first time in the nursery right after he was born.



This is behind out house....nothing! We love it!!! We will never have neighbors behind us.
