It's time!

I've thought for quite some time that I need to begin a family blog.  Elli and Graci's websites were an amazing way to share our adoption journeys.  Now that we're home and settled in as a family, I'm going to give the blogging world a try.  I'm hoping that it will be an easier way for friends to keep up with us, as many were unaware that we were posting updates on Graci's site.   I am not "blogging savvy." so I put off the process for a long time.  Well, tonight the boys are at the father/sons campout, and after I tucked the girls in I thought I would take 30 minutes or so and set up a blog.  Three hours later, here I am!   I'm not even sure if I like the results, but it will have to do, as I cannot keep my eyes open one minute longer!  Now if I can just take the time to blog every day...

  3. Hello,
    Lurker on your old Gracie blog here. Just want to say that your blog looks very nice and I look forward to reading more of your adventures. Your blog helped inspire me as we started looking at our second SN adoption from China and we are now PA for an eight year old girl. Thanks for blogging your story.
