Our Journey's Theme Song

Welcome to the Family

This was a song on an album my family listened to growing up and when I heard it again a few years back we decided to TRY to make it our family's theme song especially with our upcoming adoption. We will try to live up to the lyrics.

Welcome to the family,
We're glad that you have come to share your life with us
As we grow in love and may we always be to you,
What God would have us be a family always there,
To be strong and to lean on.

May we learn to love each other more with each new day.
May words of LOVE be on our lips in ev'rything we say.
May the spirit melt our hearts and teach us how to pray,
That we might be a true family...

Tyler's off to School

The first day of school was a whole new experience this year. I wasn't the only one going to school. Tyler started Young Kinders at the elementary school next to mine. He rides the bus from daycare to school. Scott helped him out the first 2 days and I was even able to quick give him a hug while he waited the first day during my lunch break. So far he is loving school. He quickly found out the definition of recess.




























Praying Mantis





We found a praying mantis that was about 3 inches long. Megan liked holding it before we let it go in the flower bed.

Tyler's 5th Birthday


Timber - oops!



Megan and cousin Natalie were playing timber on the bed and Megan split her nose open to the bone. 9 stitches later and she's still our little princess. She took it like a champ, following in big brothers footsteps. Almost a week after getting her stitches out, she ran into the counter getting lunch at MacDonald's and it split open...again. Some glue and strips and another trip to the emergency room and she was back together. :)

Go Giants

We were able to cheer for cousin Adam in the Giants v. Lions game. He played almost 3 quarters. We had some time after the game for hugs and pictures. Megan and Ty got to try on the Superbowl ring.

Julie and JP

Julie and JP came to visit. We tried to keep up biking in Riley Trails.





Ohio Trip























We spent a week in Ohio at the Grandparents and cousins. We went to the zoo, Cedar Point, swimming and boating. Fun!
