March.... So Far.

So far.....

Mustache day. :)



We don't know what this was about. We asked Ella, and she just got the giggles. :)


DC in the Spring.





The circus. They have no memory of us taking them two years ago. They won't forget it this time. :)







For those that don't know, this is a huge thing. Macie drew this one night after she went to bed. The sun is directly behind the tree and in full, happy force. Her tree is full of life and fruit and EVEN has  bird on it! This is HUGE!!!!! Such an amazing morning to wake up to. It's on the fridge and will remain there for a LONG time!

This is another big one. It's ME- MAMA- with lots of hearts and love and a dress and high heels and even a heart shaped nose and a smile! IT WAS/IS A HUGE DEAL AND WILL STAY ON MY FRIDGE FOREVER!!!!!

Gutsy Ella


Ella is loving skateboarding time with Daddy. Yesterday she decided to get creative. Pretty impressive, I think. :)

The ONLY family? REALLY?!?!?!?!?

Just spoke with Ms. C.  who had NT do a seminar in her area of the country last weekend.

NT has worked with hundreds of thousands of families. Ours is the first and ONLY sibling RAD family that she has seen remain intact throughout the process of healing. We are IT and we continue to work on things EVERY DAY.

I am shocked and humbled. I knew the statistics were low. I didn't know we WERE the statistic!

Please- if you know an adoptive family- make sure you encourage them to research RAD and it's effects on the family as well as sibling adoption and the risks.
