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!

My sweet boys!


 I'm not sure what Carter is doing here!
 It's hard to get a good picture of the two of them together.
 Talon's smile when I say "cheese"
 Whenever they hug each other, they always fall to the ground.
Such sweet hugs! Love it (;

I leave sippy cups filled with water out during the day so that they can drink anytime they want. Unfortunately, when they are tipped on their side, they usually leak. I guess my boys have seen me clean up the water a lot because now when they see water on the carpet, they say "oh no!" Then they go into the kitchen, grab a towel out of the drawer, bring it over to the wet spot and either soak it up with the towel by stepping on it with their feet or patting it with their hands. They are becoming quite the little helpers around the house. They will even put their dirty dishes in the sink!
