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!

Fort Worth

Daniel's parents came down last weekend and so we went to downtown Fort Worth to do a little site seeing. We headed over to the Fort Worth Water Gardens first. 
 HAHA! Carter and Daniel ended up matching! I dressed Carter and didn't pay attention to what Daniel already had on. 
 Nana and Talon climbing up the Mountain.

 Nana and Papa Bob with their grandchildren.
 The second pool. Talon wanted to dive in so bad!
I loved this pool. It was very peaceful. 
 Daniel and Talon.
 Playing with the water wall. Talon managed to put his entire shoe in the water at this area so he had to walk around the rest of the time with a wet foot.
Daniel was so proud that Carter was able to climb all the way up by himself. Talon even did it too!
Nana, Carter and me.
Papa Bob and Talon.
The third pool.
 Talon playing with the sticks after he climbed up some steps.
After we left the Water Gardens, we headed over to the Fort Worth Convention Center. It was a great place to let the boys run free and cool off since it was nice and cool in there.
After we left the convention center, we asked the boys if they wanted to ride a bus. Of course they said "yes!" So we got on Molly the Trolly and rode around downtown. We got off at our car and headed over to the Amon Carter Museum. We spend around an hour there and then the boys started to get fussy and were a little bored. 
 Our last stop was the Trinity River. 
 An old abandoned building.

 Playing with rocks while the guys went to go get the cars so we didn't have to walk all the way back. 
Carter was fast asleep after only a few minutes in the car. 
Talon was fighting it but he finally gave in.
