Adoption always seems to invite questions. Maybe because of media attention. Maybe because a lot of people want to but have no idea where to start. Maybe just curiousity.

Foto Friday
Please excuse me while I kill two birds with one stone again. I’ve been wanting to write a post (or two, or three…) about photography since a lot of you have been asking. And it’s also Foto Friday. So allow me to share some photos while I (hopefully) help you take better pictures. Like I […]

He has more patience with the younger two than me and Patrick combined. Oh, and it’s usually his idea to […]
OBX: Williamsburg and Getting Home

I should probably back up and mention that our brakes had been squealing intermittently the entire week. We had considered having them checked while in Duck but decided against it […]
