Happy Christmas

This thing takes FOREVER to load. But worth the wait, if you ask me. Well...worth the wait if you like hilarious, dorky stuff. 

Happy Christmas to everyone!
(or, at least to all 4 people who will see this.)

Happy National Adoption Day.

For Posterity

September 2011

My failed attempt at getting his plaster footprint.

I have a feeling posterity should get used to disappointment. (At least if I'm involved.)

NOTHING disappointing about this face, though! :-)

You'd Think

You'd think that uploading a picture on here once in a while would be no big thing. You'd think. Yet somehow it's September... and my last post was in May.


Oh well.


How about a little recap?

April 2011

Getting a little taste of baseball

Sometimes a guy's arm gets tired.

Chillin' with Emmy.

May 2011

Watching Daddy work. Or licking the window. Probably both.

Out for a walk.

Yeehaw! "If I pull his ear, does he go faster?"... Fun times at Grandma & Grandpa M's. (Maybe not so much fun for Kojak, though).

Watching Daddy's ballgame with Pa-pa & Ney-ney.

June 2011

Cheezin' it at the Bees game.

July 2011

4th of July

July was a busy month. So very few pics to choose from. But we still got this...

August 2011

First camping trip.

First haircut.

First time in this box. But certainly not the last.

There. Now hopefully I can post again before another 4 months pass by. But don't hold your breath. ;)

Fun in the Sun...er, Snow

April looked like this a lot.

So Mel threw a little "beach" party to remind us the sun will come again.

We were sure glad!

Still waiting for the sun though...

Adoption

These are not my words. 
They were written by an adoptive father. 
A stranger to me, but his words are my feelings spoken... 

"While we don’t set out to be changed by adoption, that is really the sum of what happens. Meaning to change the life of another, we ourselves are changed. We begin, before we ever meet our child, to sacrifice for them. We long for and love them, before we ever hold them. We worry for them and protect them, often times without even a name to call them. We prepare a room for them. Our families love them and inquire of them…  And in that waiting, longing, preparing, and dreaming, we begin to change. Our hearts soften, our life’s direction and focus shifts. Our goals and values are altered. People and children catch our eye. Poverty is harder to ignore, needs cannot quickly be forgotten. The hole in our hearts can no longer be dismissed."    ---Matt Tucker, Adoptive Father

As of late...

To Be Continued...

Mad.ness

Well, it's not looking like my year for bracket-ing. (What. That's a word.)


I'm losing to almost everyone in the family madness. 

Though, the tourney IS still young. 

Annnnd I'm beating Mike. 

So, I guess I'm good.  :-)

Totally Worth The Wait

And the tears. And the sleep-deprivation.

And.

Everything.

Else.
