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!

It's Potty Time

Well no, not really! We decided to start introducing them to the potty and getting them used to it. They both let me know now when they need a diaper change. Talon will come up to me and say my name (Mommy) and then pat himself on his bottom. Carter will do the same thing except he will sniff a few times...lol! I guess he learned that from us smelling his bottom to see if he needs a change. Yesterday Talon told me that he needed to be changed but when I checked him he was still clean.  Then 5 minutes later he pooped! I guess next time I need to put him on the potty (: Lesson learned!

I am just going to take my time and let them go at their own pace. I've heard that is the best way to do it and I'm in no hurry. But it's better to have the potties just in case they decide they are ready to try.
