Big News!

We are excited to announce that we are officially in the process of adopting again. We have started the homestudy process and have signed contracts with a new adoption agency and are working on our new dossier. We are so excited to begin the journey again and grow our family.

To answer a few questions that we know are coming, No, we are not using AGCI again. Yes, we loved working with them and have nothing but good things to say about them. They have grown as an agency and have a large waitlist as well as a large number of families working on their paperwork.


We are planning to adopt two children. Not one or two, but only two! We are excited to be growing our family from three to five! It has been a dream of ours and something we have been praying about since we were married.


We will hopefully not need to fundraise to the same extent we did for the past adoption. Our awesome agency is set up as a non-profit and will take tax deductible donations in our honor if anyone so desires to help out in that matter. We will be using the adoption tax refund from Mason and are planning another garage sale for the Spring. And finally, we will be applying for as many grants as possible.

Please join with us as in prayer through this journey. Pray as God prepares us and our family for two new children as well as the two new children being prepared for us. Thank you in advance for your prayers and support!

Labor Day Weekend

I have some more pictures to add to this and will update this, but blogger is not letting me upload more pictures at this point. So, we will add the rest of the pictures later. So, here is labor day weekend...

We went down to Albuquerque, NM to see Dan's great aunt Jane. We had a great time visiting her and had the opportunity to go to the botanical garden and aquarium. It was a great time.

Mason crashed after a bit at the aquarium.

The whole gang. This is me, Aunt Jane, Mason, Dan, and Grandma Betty. (She joined us on this trip)On our way out to the car.

I don't think Mason realized we had an 8 1/2 hour road trip ahead of us by the looks of this picture. He did really well, but it was a long trip. We had a good time and always do when we go see Aunt Jane.
