Meet Our Family -- Our Adoption Journey

Monday, January 6, 2014

Feb/March/April

 We were so busy enjoying our boys and life, that the blog got neglected. It was almost a year ago when I made my last post. Here is an attempt to catch it up and fill in a few glimpses of the last year.
This boy is always smiling!!!! He is so much fun and he has our hearts!

Brandt's favorite toy from Christmas is his Imaginext castle.  He has gotten several other parts to it this year and loves to play with all the people and characters that he has. It is also a favorite when friends come to play.

My sister-in-law Janina, My sister Deborah, and I got to have a girls weekend at a church conference. It was a nice way to relax, sleep through the night, and be recharged.

We love our Zoo. We had fun while the Dinosaur exhibit was here. Hanging out with cousins at the zoo is even better! Sarah and Abigail are two of Brandt's best friends.  Having cousins for best friends is so great!

 We got a quick trip to the beach and got to hang out with Hunter's Stacey. It was a good day!

 Easter was great and we always get to spend it with both sides of our families, making it so exciting!

We love to camp. Brandt and Daddy got to go on a father/son campout and had a blast. Mommy had to live with text updates to hear how it was going and hear about all the fun they were having. They went on a hike in the morning and discovered some neat places.

Brandt loves sports and we love watching him have so much fun doing something he loves.  Plus, he has fun while getting to use up some of his endless energy. This past year he completed 4 sports with his program and got an awesome trophy. It is a program where Daddy gets to play with him as he learns to play. They played 6 weeks each of Soccer, Flag Football, Basketball, and Baseball. He loved it so much we are doing it again this year.

Every year we plant a garden together. It is something we all enjoy and look forward to doing. It is hard work and so yummy when we have our fresh veggies to eat.
