Complaining at the dinner table I told Jenna she needed to stop talking unless she had only encouraging and profitable things to share. She paused and said “Mom…….I love you” “I’m just going to hide in this closet because no one wants to play with me” She’s holding my iphone and says, “hhmmm it’s overcast [...]

Thankful…..

There is so much to be thankful for. My sweet boy is 4 weeks old, which is so crazy to me. I can’t believe how fast it’s going. He weighs 11 lbs already, eats as much as a 3 month old and the only chubby thing about him is his cheeks. He’s just solid. Built [...]
The Entrustment Ceremony
Posted in Uncategorized on September 23, 2010 | 4 Comments »
I had done some research on adoption, the process of it all and how to care for the birth mom and I read about people doing an Entrustment Ceremony. It sounded so great because it’s meant to give the birth mom closure and honor the decision that she has made and after doing it I [...]

After taking Isaac home from the hospital, which we got to do before Brittani was discharged and something they say they rarely let happen, we expected to stay in Boise another week at least. Our lawyers told us that for the paper work to clear the legal system in both states it takes a while. [...]

My parents drove to Boise after work on Friday with Jenna. Jenna had been crossing off days on a calendar for months as to when her little brother would arrive. The anticipation was high for her and she couldn’t wait to meet him. So when they showed up at the hospital at 12:45 am Jenna [...]
The Frenzy of Fall

The fall is here and unfortunately so is the rain. This is going to take some getting used to. I keep closing my eyes and picturing sitting in Montana in the quiet where you can feel the stillness and you know that snow is falling outside. Oh, how I miss that. But, here we are [...]

Sitting down next to me on the couch Jenna says, “Lets have a conversation. I’ll go first.” Talking to Isaac. “Oh you’re just a sad little man right now” “He’s smells like a baby. I don’t really like the smell of him.” “My teacher is very sweet so you need to be kind to her.” [...]
A Big Day for Jenna

Last week Jenna had her first day of Preschool. Here it’s more important to have an umbrella than it is a backpack She was very excited and had a great time. It’s only 3 days a week for a few hours in the afternoon. It’s just enough I think and great timing with the new [...]
Getting the Call to Go

It was Sunday afternoon and we got the call from the birth mom that she thought it may be time. I had been so anxious about missing the birth that we rushed home, packed, and were on the road an hour and a half later. My parents took Jenna because she wasn’t feeling well and [...]

We’ve had many sleepless nights lately and I’m hoping that sleep deprived and big bags under your eyes in the hottest new look because I’m mastering that look right now. It’s all worth it though. So because of sleep deprivation and my mom being here the past 4 days I haven’t had time to write [...]
