Elina is learning sign language at daycare. She has the look (so not exactly as it should be) of each letter and happily goes through the entire alphabet plus she’s signing her name and singing and signing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!

Tonight we attended the Families in Adoption Christmas Potluck Dinner. We have been going since Elina was only 4 months old and it was wonderful to see all of the children grow. We don’t get to see the kids together very often, there is a group that meets every second month but we don’t find [...]

We’re excited!! The [...]
Elina and I spent some quality time with each other this weekend. I was away all last weekend and got a little busy at work earlier and then was sick in bed for 2 days. This weekend, we had sportball, gymnastics, a movie with Luke, coffee with Daddy (he was busy working all [...]
My cousin Nicole takes the funniest photos (& videos) and this one is of their family dog!
