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!

Mineral Wells Fossil Park

This is our families 3rd time to go to the fossil park. We have now gone with everyone in Daniel's family including his parents. Laura, Daniel and I didn't really want to go because we knew how hot it was going to be but the kids all really wanted to go, so we went for them. We made sure that we were out of our house really early so we could beat the heat and it worked. 
 Amy LOVES Carter and Talon. She was always holding their hands or trying to carry them around. 
 Looking at the chart to get an idea of what kind of fossils there are. 


 Talon had fun collecting big rocks. 

 I love this picture!
 Krya is so cute!

 Helping Carter with a big smile! She sure loves them.
  A close up of all the fossils that could be found. All the kids had a really fun time and got some really cool fossils. 
 Exhausted! Notice how tan Talon's arm is compared to my leg. Whenever people ask me who is who, I always say, Talon is tan! Then they never forget!
How cute is this picture?!?! I'm sure Amy is already looking forward to Thanksgiving so she can hang out with her cousins again.
