…hard to believe that this was one year ago today. Life will never to be same and we wouldn’t change it for the world.
Here was the day as we captured in on our whrrl story…
really impressed by Tyler’s (my 16 year old nephew) song “Take our Burdens” (band Halfway Home) that is posted on iTunes.
Thanks to Gladney for allowing us share a little bit of our story & experience about bringing Sosi home from Ethiopia!

I know this sounds crazy, but it’s awesome how this song helps us talk to our kids about adoption, acceptance and love.
Favorite quote “this is your family and I’m your mom”

I guess our journey begins now as we drop kids off at my parent’s house and look forward to an early, early morning.
