I am so happy being married and living with my best friend. We adopted our first child, Ari, in 2011 through a domestic adoption and our second, Jude, in 2014.

He's Here!

After a few crazy roller coaster ride days, we are a family of three! I promise I will post details of the story soon. But for now, I just had to brag about my baby boy. He's sweet, wonderful, precious, and we are totally in love! We are going to be discharged from the hospital in, hopefully, just a few hours and will then be taking our sweet baby boy home with this.

We won't be posting his actual name on this blog, just for privacy reasons with adoption. So he will be referred to as Little Pirate, to match his pirate themed nursery. :) Again, we are in love and so happy to have him in our lives!
