Meet Our Family -- Our Adoption Journey

Family of Four!

We are having a lot of fun with our growing family.  Brandt is an amazing big brother and loves to talk to Hunter and tell him all about what we are doing. They have many 'conversations' and it makes me so happy seeing them together. It has been fun to share with Hunter some of our favorite things.

 Brandt has had a thing for dragons the past few months.  Santa is pretty cool and got these two brothers matching dragon pillow pets.  A big one for big brother and a little one for little brother. 

Still one of our favorite times of the day. Brandt loves when Hunter joins us for story time together before bed!

Everyone in Alabama can thank Brandt for the snow we got in January.  He had been hoping and praying for some snow to play in.  We got about 4 inches up on our hill. He was one happy boy to get to make a snowman, snow angels, and go sledding (alabama style: on our boogie board for the beach).  He was in HEAVEN!!!!  Hunter, on the other hand, just thought it was cold and windy.

 Hunter's personality is really starting to show. He is somewhat serious at times and will look curiously at new things around him.  He has the warmest smile ever and is a very happy little guy!  He loves talking to his daddy!

 While at the science center, the boys got to meet Clifford. It was a fun surprise!

 The science center and the zoo are two of our favorite places.  This was Hunter's first trip to the zoo. That is the alligator's swamp behind them. Best friends and cousins Rachel, Sarah, and Abigail came too!
 Brandt loves his Start Smart Sports he has been playing this fall and winter.  He has done soccer, flag football, and now basketball.  Daddy gets to play with him and Mommy and Hunter cheer them on every week. 

We recently went on a nice hike in the woods. Brandt loved finding walking sticks and running with his cousins Ian and Cali.  Hunter enjoyed a nice warm ride in his front pack on mommy. It was a good day exploring.
