It is official

Ethaniel Jay
Riley Jade

Kallie Kade


National Adoption Day in Lubbock was a wonderful day. Twenty seven children were adopted on that day. We adopted our 3, (Ethaniel Jay, Kallie Kade, and Riley Jade) It was a long day but a lot of fun. I ended up having to speak with about 5 minutes notice. I even got teary during the speech which I never do. Looking out at all the happy families of Moms, Dads, Grandparents and siblings with their new family members would touch any one. The hit of the day was the trip to McDonald's. Each of the children got to choose a bear to adopt to make it extra special. We have now adopted 7 children, have PMC of one child and 5 home grown kids. That is a baker's dozen. Kids are not cheaper by the dozen or baker's dozen for that matter but there is never a dull moment.
