Binduga's House





Thank you so much to Chris and the Binduga family for opening up their home to us and for providing such a great afternoon of fun. The kids enjoyed cookie making, planting their own seeds, and crafts. While the moms and dads got to socialize and plan for future events. A very nice afternoon!

Three !!!

It's hard to believe it but Araya is almost 3! We celebrated her birthday on Saturday with a house full of friends and family. I was once again reminded how truly blessed our family is. Thank you so much to everyone who shared this special day with us.

Mom's Night Out

Just to give an update on "The Mom's Night Out" on Friday Night:

It's hard to put into words what a truly amazing experience Friday evening was. We talked, we laughed, and we even shared some tears until 11:00pm. We thought for sure the Olive Garden would kick us out! It was an evening I will always remember. The stories, resources, experiences, and support we have to offer one another is proving to be unmeasurable.

It is so wonderful to have other adoptive families to share my mine and my families life with. I just wanted to thank all those who were able to come and I look forward to the next time.

Finalization Day

Finalization Day
Here we are on finalization day. A journey that started only a little over a year ago closes today on February 13th, 2007 at the courthouse with Lisa our social worker. Lisa is an angel to our family. Our family is complete. We could not have done it without the help of God, and our friends and families. Thank you to all of our wonderful friends and to our supportive families who made this miracle come true.
