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!

Full House

Daniel's sister, Laura, came into town on Friday night and brought along her 5 children. Her husband was out of town this past week so she decided to take a road trip to visit lots of family and friends. Her last stop was our house and she stayed till Sunday. We LOVED having her here and I know Carter and Talon loved hanging out with their cousins. 
 Daniel and Amy talking with each other.
 HAHA....I have no idea what Daniel is doing in the background!

 Amy and Kyra playing in the sand.
Watching Eric with the grasshoppers and probably wondering why in the world he is collecting them. My boys are not at the age where they like bugs yet. They are actually terrified of them. 
Trying to get more grasshoppers.
Putting them in the water.
