About us...
We are Justin and Heather - high school sweethearts. After 6 years of dating we married in 1998 . On October 3, 2000 Brady was born into our family followed by Madison on October 9, 2002. After much prayer and a complete leap of faith, we began our first adoption journey in March of 2008. On April 16th, 2009 Blake entered our family from Vladivostok, Russia. We now feel called to return to Vladivostok one more time to complete our family with a fourth child. We documented our first journey on a blog that is now set to private. On that blog we share our day-to-day happenings. We look forward to sharing our second adoption journey with you through this blog. Thank you for checking in on us!

I'm right there with you. Just sat down to type out a post about our flights home and can barely manage to complete it... let alone post any photos.
Glad you made it home safely and are reunited! Maybe next week we'll both be back to our new-normals and able to exchange an email/posts. I have your watch to mail out, as well. I promise it is coming... just have to get the car seat installed and figure out how to work things around Crosby's schedule.
Happy belated Easter!
Been thinking of you guys. Hope you had a blessed first Easter together- complete as a family!
Heather, you get a blogger break! I completely understand. I can't wait to hear what's happening and how adding Boston has changed all your lives. You have FOUR kids!! :-)
Have been checking daily and hoping for an update on how things are going! I am sure it is exhausting trying to get settled. Can't wait to see pics of all 4 kids together and hear how Boston is adjusting!
I know how hard it is with 1- let alone 4! Give yourself a break. Us type A personalities are always hardest on ourselves! ;) So happy you are home with your family!
