I had the privilege of being a part of the Adoption Blogger Interview Project this year. Random pairs of us were matched to interview each other blog-style.

Day 86
Our content of our recent LEGO field trip was disappointing, but it finally inspired John to engage in LEGOs. Priceless! Did I mention I have a slight LEGO obsession?
