My Boys

I just had to put this picture of the two most important people in my life looking extremely handsome in their Sunday best. Seriously, does it get any cuter than this? Oh and look how cute he looks in his first pair of Vans. Thanks again, Alli!!

More of the best thing ever

Nothing too interesting...oh wait besides finding out that Mothers Day isn't the worst holiday ever, realizing being a mom kicks, and discovering how sexy it is to watch Jeff be a Spectacular daddy.

First Mothers Day Flowers from my sweet Dad.

Beside that here are more photos of Milo. Yeah he still pretty much just lays there but he looks so cute doing it we can't help but take a zillion photos of him. Enjoy!

First Bath...He totally loves them.

My shower with all of Jeff's cute sisters/sister-in-laws and his amazing mom. Everyone was able to be there and it was such a fun time. Thanks again you guys!! (Jenni is missing because she's taking the pic)

Available Babies and Amazing Photos

So I have a couple of random, yet important things to blog about...

First off, I was in Heart to Heart (our adoption agency) today showing Milo off, and the girls there mentioned their need for families. They have 3 african american boys that are being born very soon and no families to place them with. They are a GREAT, trustworthy agency and we had a very positive experience with them. If you know anyone who might be interested in these babies, please get in touch with them. This is their website http://hearttoheartadoptions.com/ . Also, I would be very happy to answer any questions i can about them. There is always such a huge need for families who are willing to adopt African American babies, and since we are huge believers in transracial adoption, I thought I'd see if we can help find homes for these little buddies.

Second random thing. Check out these amazingly beautiful photos.

My sister-in-law Stephanie is a very talented photographer and she shot these photos of Milo last week. Check out her photo blog here http://blackbirdbeauty.blogspot.com/. The photo at the top of my blog came from that shoot and we were totally thrilled with how the pics turned out. If you need photos of your kids, family, dog :), you should definitely check her out. Thanks again Steph!

Different every single day

This is the quickest way to update everyone on how things are going with Milo and to answer a few questions some of you had... So, first off, things are great! Wonderful! Spectacular! Amazing!Seriously Milo is the best baby. He is sleeping 3-4 hours at night and he only cries when he is hungry (I have a feeling he's going to get pretty large, pretty fast:) or if he has a dirty diaper. Jeff and I are are more than happy to get up with him. That's one of the many beautiful things about adopting. You wait so freaking long for this little guy, that you just simply do not sweat the small stuff. Another great thing is I am in the best shape I've been in for a lot of years, and I don't have to recover from the after effects of giving birth :)


So many of you have come to visit and we are so grateful for all the love and support everyone around us has shown. Adoption is one of those things that really unites people and brings them together in a very positive way.


For those of you who are wondering, we have a pretty open adoption. Tiffany (milo's birth mom) will get letters and pictures from us at least once a month, and she will be sending us pictures and letters as well. We even talk on the phone from time to time. We are big advocates of open adoption and are excited to continue to build the relationship we have with Tffany. I've said it before, but I will continue to say it forever, she is an AMAZING woman and we want Milo to know about her and her incredible selflessness.


Please continue to send your questions and although this may seem a little random, if you know someone who is thinking of adopting, is in the middle of it, or just has questions, please please please do not hesitate to give them my number. Jeff and I would have loved to have someone to talk to during our crazy journey, and if we can be that for someone else we would love it!
