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!

Pictures

It is so HARD to get good pictures of Carter these days unless there are two adults helping with taking the pictures. So most of these pictures are of Talon because Carter's pictures were either blurry from him moving or they weren't of his face. I don't think most of you would want to see pictures of the top of his head or his back...lol!
I love this picture. Both in the same exact pose and wearing one of Daniel's shoes.
Talon hugging his monkey (his birth mom has the same monkey). We gave each birth mother a matching stuffed animal with their son when they each left the hospital.

Carter snuggling with his elephant (his birth mom and him have the same elephant). Carter loves hugging everything. When we talk to our parents using face time (with our iphones), Carter will hug the phone because he thinks he is hugging them.
For some reason I just love his face here.

He was sad because he turned off the music and couldn't get it to turn back on.
