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!

Boating

This past Friday, we got to take our boys on their first boat ride. We are lucky to live within 10 minutes of several lakes and it's really great to have a good friend with a boat! Carter wasn't so sure of it at first but it didn't take long for him to love it. Daniel spent most of the time wake boarding and this was my first time to see him in action. I have to say that he was really good. Of course, I have yet to find many things that he isn't good at! 

At the very end, they finally got me to give it a try. I was so nervous and didn't really want to do it. I am not good at sports....period! Although I was really good at Gymnastics and competitive Cheerleading. The first time I went to stand up, my foot came out of the boot. So I tried it again and I actually stood up but then fell down within seconds. Daniel kept saying that I did really good for my first time but I think he was just trying to make me feel better! Anyways, I think next time I'll just enjoy the boat ride. My forearms are still hurting!
