Welcome! This site was created so that our many far away family and friends (and close ones too) can keep updated on what is going on in our world. This blog began as a pregnancy diary and has evolved into explaining how that "bump" has become such a wonderful boy, River. Now, with the adoption of our daughter, Autumn, and the possible adoption of our third, there are sure to be many exciting blogs ahead! Thank you for joining us!

Really????
More info please!
No news… just hoping the new year is a grand one! Just like this past year was!
I am totally stealing this idea…I have been going crazy trying to figure out what to do for our child in Rwanda but since we don’t know if it’ll be a boy or girl or baby or toddler I have been drawing total blanks. This is perfect. Thanks for the idea! Hopefully we can give them to our kids soon!
We did this for our little one waiting in China a couple of months ago: http://chinawego.blogspot.com/2011/10/build-bear-wishes-for-abbie.html So fun! Hope all is well with you and your family. Wishing you all the best!
