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. Adopting as as adult adoptee seems to be even more fascinating. So here’s your chance. Ask away. Anything is game…our experience, my experience, interracial families, travel,...
Category: Our Adoption Adventure
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...
Milestones and Precious Moments
It has been a week of milestones for us. Mia had preschool camp at Redeemer all week in the mornings. It’s been a great time to spend quality time with the boys. Monday we ventured out to an outdoor, enclosed roller hockey rink to practice riding bikes. I’ve been working with PJ a couple times...
A Good Cause: Frosty's for Father's Day

Time Flies…
…when you’re having fun/chasing 3 kids/just plain old busy. Today marks 5 weeks home with Ty. So what’s new you may ask. He’s coming into his own turning into a opinion-holding, tantrum-throwing, mischevious, rambunctious two-year-old. He has a special place in his heart for “Ee-ah” (aka Mia) and Nana. He’s learned that chips, chocolate, and fruit...
Foto Multimedia Friday
Mia celebrated her birthday with her preschool class on Tuesday. It was pretty special since her birthday is not really for another month. This is her bouquet of well-wishes from her classmates. Mia’s year of Tappin’ Toddlers ended today with a mini-recital. Video coming soon… Promise, last one of Mia. I just couldn’t help myself. ...
Resilience
I mentioned in some previous posts (and some people have asked) about how emotional it was the day we picked up Ty. Well, I’m finally getting around to sharing Ty’s adjusted well enough that I am ready to go relive what happened that day and the days to follow. I should also thank my relentless...
