Lennon - currently Fido


As promised, a picture of mom's dog.

His name is Lennon, my mom and dad are calling him Fido. Hence the desire for name suggestions. :)

The Dewberry Family




Soon after I started this project, our friends from church, the Dewberry Family, got a great job offer and were able to move to Utah. We miss them a lot but, we're sure this is a good thing for them. They sent us two squares. A boy's square and a girl's square and said for us to choose the one we want to use. Well, I'm going to use both!

Grammy's square


My mom picked out this cute square. She hasn't finished her scrapbook page yet.

Mom and Dad got a new dog today! A big German Shepherd. Anybody have any good doggy name suggestions?

Personal Interviews

We had our personal interviews with our case worker today. It went well. She just asked questions about us and our family similar to what we had already answered online. We are close to being approved. We are waiting on one background check, for our case worker to write up her review and for the home study visit. I'm glad it is going quickly.

We are posting this website on our online profiles so birth parents can learn more about us:

Rocking Chair!


I got a Pottery Barn rocking chair yesterday through Craigs List. It was a great deal! It will go in the office for now. And when I want to change the slip cover they have good ones at Wal-mart!

Mommy's scrapbook page


This is the page I made to go with my Christmas square.

We finished our birth parent letter and we have personal interviews with our social worker this week.

Grandpa Bori - a.k.a. "Grampy" or "Poppy"

Anyone that knows my Dad knows that he loves John Deere Equipment (he recently sold his John Deere Dealership).We knew his square had to represent that.

Here is his scrapbook page (I helped him make it, because he thought he would "have to put on a pink skirt" if he made it). He did write the sweet note on it though!
