Welcome to the blog
This is real life. I’m not trying to portray perfection or the picture of something that we are not. My family is loud, messy, we make mistakes, we yell, but we love each other and above all, we love Jesus. Here you’ll find mostly glimpses of our daily family life, and I’ll share my heart. I love to share our stories and if you have specific adoption questions, just shoot me a note!
