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!

Growing Up

After Daniel got home from work, we headed over to the elementary school to check out their playground. Every time we drive by we always comment that we should take the boys so we finally did. They have three different playground sets and they even have one for their age. 
 Daniel helping Carter climb.


 Talon's turn. He did really good. 
 Carter kept wanting to go over and over again. He got so good that he could climb up all by himself. Can you tell that Daniel is pretty excited?!?! His comment, "they are getting closer and closer to where I can take them rock climbing with me!" Daniel goes to a rock climbing gym every week and is dying for the boys to be able to go with him. 

 The only negative to the elementary school playground is that they don't have swing sets made for toddlers. 

 Carter even learned how to swing all by himself too! They are growing up way too fast.
We have to be really careful with Talon because he gets really hot and sweaty fast. His face here is the same color as his shirt. He was not happy when we told him it was time to go home.
