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!

Introducing Max and Violet

Carter and Talon have two new cousins....Max and Violet! Daniel's sister, Emily, had her twins a few days ago (22nd) and so last night we headed up to the hospital to meet them. They are so adorable and tiny! They've waited a long time for this day and we couldn't be happier for them!


The happy family of 5!!!!!
Daniel's dad, Papa Bob, with Violet. She was only 5lbs and 18 1/2 inches when she was born so she is so tiny! Carter was almost 9lbs when he was born so almost twice her weight!
Violet in her preemie clothes that are huge on her.
Here is Max....he was 6lb. 5 oz and 18 3/4 inches when he was born.
I love tiny baby feet!
Daniel with Violet.
Violet looks so much like Molly!

Big sister, Molly! She is so EXCITED to be a big sister!

Daniel's mom, Nana, playing with Talon. He's been on this kick lately of running and so he would run to the wall and touch it and then run into Nana's arms. I don't know how many times he did this.
Here is Carter playing peek-a-boo with Emily!

Also, if you haven't looked at our family post, my brother, David, and his wife are expecting their 4th! Lots of babies being born this year in our family!
