DTC!

We began our 'official' adoption journey in March of 2014.  Today, which is five months and many FedEx'd documents later, we received news that our dossier has been sent to China and should be in the hands of the China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption (CCCWA) by next week!  This is one of those big milestones in the adoption process, and now it's here for us.

Here's hoping for a quick match with our boy!  Happy Friday!

Chickens, Boats and Waterfalls, Oh My!

This is after all, a blog about our family's adventures, so I thought I'd post some pictures of our recent trip to Keuka Lake, NY earlier this month to visit Matt's family.  It's been 9 years since our last visit and after so much fun and relaxation on this trip, we swore we would make it back sooner next time.

A little excited to be on Uncle Stan's boat!

Mandatory visit to Mac's for ice cream

This was a terrific hike up the glenn - with a few cool salamanders!

A very appropriate photo after Mira took over two hours to get to sleep!
