It's Been One Year! Today marks the first year anniversary of the day our family was "Adopted Together."

Allow me to share some family moments from this past year. Our twin boys went off to kindergarten. They love school. They are very creative. They enjoy everything outdoors, especially if it includes dirt, water and rocks. This past year we've gone on some wonderful trips to the beach and summer hikes all over Central Oregon. They are learning to swim. They are learning to paint. Most of this past year has been all about trading Pokémon cards and waging epic Beyblade battles.

Adopted Together, Forever. The sweetest day for our family was October 1, 2018, the day we were officially adopted together as a family. Although we have been a true family for more than four years, this official adoption process allowed us to fully enjoy our lives without worry or uncertainty. Each day is a new and wondrous adventure. We continue to enjoy the blessings our sweet little blonde-haired, blue-eyed cherubim boys every day.

Our Valentine's Day Sweets. Our long, 4-1/2 year journey to adoption started when our twin boys were just 9-1/2 months old. They came to us on February 14, 2014. And this is how our story goes... "On Valentine's Day, the sweetest blonde-haired, blue-eyed cherubim boys flew down into our home. They grabbed their bows and drew their arrows and pierced our hearts with love. From that moment on, we instantly, irresistibly and eternally fell in love with our precious baby boys." (Photo evidence of our cute cherubim)
