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!

Marshmallow Fight and Pool

After we got back from the fossil park, we ate lunch and relaxed at the house. I then decided to take a nap since I was fighting off a cold and hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. While I was sleeping, Daniel decided to take all the kids outside and have a marshmallow gun fight.  




 Silly girls!

Later that evening we decided to head to our pool. After we all got ready, we realized that it looked like it might rain but we went anyways. We missed the storm but it was very windy and overcast the whole time so I was cold the entire time. All the kids didn't seem to care though!

My skinny boy.....he is going to be 2 in just a few days (Sunday) but his swim shorts are huge on him. They are 18 month shorts but they fall off his waist and it looks like he has pants on here. Talon can still wear his 12 month shorts from last summer.
