A new website (and it's free)!
I've found a new website (for me anyway) and it's free for families wanting to adopt. It's very easy to set up and you can link your blog/website to it. I have found it gets a lot of traffic, as you can track how many views you get. The link below is our info, a work in progress, as I always find things I want to change. We definitely need better pics of the three of us.

Waiting for the Blizzard of 2011...when's the lizard going to pop out?
We are waiting for the "storm of the decade" to hit our small town and all around us. We haven't really had a huge storm of any kind for awhile now, so this should be good! Apparently, Bella thinks a lizard is going to pop out of a snow bank or something, since she keeps looking for one. I keep telling her B-lizzard, but she wants to hear lizard, so be it.
I've come to realize that life is all about waiting...we hear things that are going to happen or COULD happen, and then we wait. Sometimes it's fun to wait, but usually not so much. Like when Mattie and I had to wait for a train to pass while on our walk. Now that was fun to see her reaction, since she's never been that close to one before! Waiting for the snow is fun too, but only if you're safe inside, with heat (a fireplace helps too), and plenty to do! (No baking today, sorry, everyone! Just some chicken tortilla soup in the crockpot and chili on the stove). Waiting for some news of a baby isn't fun, although it is fun to know that a call could come any day to tell us we're the ones!
So, here's to waiting for the blizzard (it has started here), the plows, the chili to be done, good news, and the lizard!
Be safe and stay home if you can!

Welcome To Our Blog
Welcome to our blog!
This is our first attempt at blogging, so bear with me please!! As most of you know, our daughter, Arabella, is adopted. She is the light of our lives and we really don't remember life before she came along! Well, after four years of just the three of us (plus the two dogs), we are starting it all over again, and hoping to find someone out there who wants to join the craziness! Luckily, he or she will be just a wee one, so they will have no way of knowing what's up until they get a little older! :)
Anyway, all joking aside, we are so blessed for what we have...just loving this beautiful angel who was sent just for us, and now awaiting another, is making it all worthwhile. Adoption is definitely not the easy way, it's not always joyful, we're not the "lucky ones", or the fun ones. We're parents just trying to do our best with what God has given us and have more love than we thought to give. We aren't in any rush to find just any baby, we love having the "boss" of the house tell us what to do, but we know that the right situation will find us. Please pray for our family and for anyone out there who has to make a decision for their family, that will be forever changed.
Thank you for reading my very 1st blog post!
Now...GO PACK GO!!!!!! (sorry)
