A Picture- worth a thousand words

So, rather than trying to describe our family life to you, I will give you a glimpse with pictures. :-)

                           Our three boys have lots of fun together! Siblings are the best friends.
                                Our kitty, Priscilla, is so loving and patient with the kids. :-)
                    The great grandkids with my Grandma on her 80th birthday in January!
                                             We love playing in the snow!
 One of our Christmas traditions is going to the Handel's Messiah concert in December. We like to dress up for it. :-)

                        The boys play violin and guitar. We love music in our family!
                                   The playhouse in our big backyard is a main attraction.
 Our large, but cozy, home is located in a family friendly, safe neighborhood- perfect for walks!
           This is Jessica's big, extended family at her brother's wedding a couple weeks ago.

Starting on our exciting new journey!

We are now in the middle of our pre-assessment/home study process for the domestic adoption of an infant. A busy, but interesting time!

We are a family of five, having three wonderful sons who were born to us in 2006, 2009 and 2013.
We feel that it is time to plan for another baby- this time through adoption! Ben was adopted as an infant in Australia, as were his two sisters, so we are no strangers to the idea of adoption as a beautiful way to make a family.

We would love to complete our family with the adoption of a baby girl. We are all so excited at this prospect and the boys will be such great big brothers- they all love babies. :-)
