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!

Saturday

On Saturday, after the boys took their naps, we headed out to do a little shopping in the Dallas area. We went to Costco to pick up a few items (it was so nice not having to buy diapers since we are doing cloth now) and then we went over to Ikea. We got the boys a table and chairs for the 2nd birthday (I can not believe they are going to be 2 so soon) and a few other items for their birthday. I love shopping for them! 

After we left Ikea, we went over to Deanna's house. They had so much fun climbing up and down her stairs. Also, Deanna's dog (Sadie) was at the top of the stairs, behind a gate, and so they loved going up to Sadie to pet her. Mason is now 8 months old so he is now at an age where he can interact with my boys a little bit more. I'm sure they will love playing with each other as they get older. I just wish Deanna lived closer!
