Hi sweetheart- Happy Valentine’s Day! Dad and I are thinking about you. I’m collecting links of cute valentine’s ideas for when it’s time to make some for your classmates. No boxed cartoon character Valentine’s for us! Someone gave us a bed for you this weekend. We haven’t had time to move furniture around, so it’s … Continue reading
Well, friends- Nothing exciting has happened this year. Check back with us in 2013. Love, Beth and Alex I’M JUST KIDDING. Gosh, you’re just so gullible. Yesterday, our pastor made us turn to our neighbor and talk about how we would define this past year. It only took me about .2 seconds to come up … Continue reading
Hey little one- When I was growing up, this was a common occurrence in our house. The sound of my dad playing the guitar, singing old songs, is one that will stick with me forever. Sometimes my mom would join in with her sweet sing-song voice. Sometimes your aunt Leah and I would dance around. … Continue reading
I’m mildly convinced that I have some sort of sensory processing disorder, since the feel of velvet makes me want to vomit, I would love to plunge my hands into a bucket of rice or small beads, and if Alex gently caresses my arm, I punch him in the kidney. The other day, I threw … Continue reading

You write one line a day everyday for five years so you can see how you’ve changed or what you were doing specifically. (Also, last year, I wrote this blog.)I usually write in it at night so … Continue reading
You probably already know that I love quirky t-shirts, so I really wanted to do something to raise funds for our adoption. Voila! This shirt was the brainchild of me, my husband, and my brother-in-law. We had a very serious meeting about graphics and fonts and this is what we came up with. What’s really … Continue reading
Hey kiddo- It’s been a while- not because we don’t think about you every day but because it’s only been four months and I’ve already pulled all my hair out from waiting. You see, adoption is kind of weird. I don’t have the morning sickness or the baby kicks to remind me that you’re coming. … Continue reading
Before you go all nuts and think that we decided to adopt from Korea instead of Thailand and our son has already come over, just know that you’re crazy. If you think that international adoption would move that quickly, then you’re crazy. No, no, we volunteered to temporarily house a Korean student who is attending UTD. … Continue reading
