Welcome to our new blog!

Well, we've finally done it. We've created our family blog. The first step in creating a space for our family and friends to visit and stay in touch with our ever-busy, and now dramatically changing lives!

As most of you know, we are in the process of adopting a baby from Kazakhstan, and we encourage you to visit frequently to see the latest in our most excellent adventure. We have requested a little girl. We also plan to use this site to document our lives after we have our new little one home, so you can watch her grow (and watch us try to keep up!)

The most recent progress on this journey is that we've been told we should be traveling in early September some time, and we will be given dates closer to the time we have to leave, so we'll be having to stay very flexible during September and October. For those of you who don't know, the adoption process in Kaz (Kazakhstan) is very lengthy: 6-7 weeks if you choose to make one trip, and if you choose to make two trips, you go for 4 weeks, come home 2-3 weeks and then go back for one week to bring home baby.

We look forward to sharing our story with you all and also to hearing from you.

I had a breif moment to visit during a very busy day and you made me smile! I love the pictures and already learned something new about you both. Nice song - reminds me of singalongs in the evening at CWU. I'll be watching :) Lynn
