Look for updates about our adoption and life journey!

April 2025 - Saying Goodbye to Lucy

The holiday season is a special time. We spend most of the time between Christmas and New Years in Michigan visiting Bethlyn's family. It is a relaxing and rejuvenating time for both of us. We spent an evening with my family in Minnesota before heading to Michigan. Fortunately, David has a two-week break from teaching this year so that enables us to spend lots of family time during this time of year. We had fun help babysitting Bethlyn's great niece when she came to visit for a day. She's two and really enjoyed the trampoline she got for Christmas and watching Booba. What a special time with family!

Summer is going by quickly... It's about halfway for my summer break. We just got back from Sweden and Norway and it was an amazing trip. Stockholm is beautiful! The fjords in Norway live up to the hype. While these epic trips will be on hold when we have a young child...the goal will be to do small trips until they are able to enjoy and appreciate a longer international trip. Traveling is something we just love to do and want to ensure our future child has these life experiences to make them the best individual we can. 

Whew! We are officially home study approved! We are ready to adopt whenever the call comes. It was a long process to get here but we are excited to be officially be ready to adopt. We will be doing outreach as the months go on and are excited for whatever happens next.
