An Introduction

I am completely new at this blogging thing, so please bear with me as I figure this out. We are creating this blog for three reasons. The first is to keep our family and friends in the loop and share our life with the people we can't be with everyday. The second reason is to share our miracle of adoption with all the other families like ours and those who may be thinking about adoption. And the third, and most important, is to document all those moments I never want to forget! We have three beautiful, perfect children. The two oldest, Alex & Amanda, are our biological children. In September 2004, we travelled to China to bring home our youngest daughter, Linzi Madison Wu. Our lives have been forever changed in so many incredible ways, it would take forever to count them. We thank god everyday for our children and the endless joy they bring us. For anyone who might be waiting, or thinking of adoption, take a moment to watch Linzi's adoption video. I put it together as a testiment of our love and the joy she has brought us. Check back often, with three crazy kids, the adventures never end at our house!

So here is our crew on a regular day. . .






After I convinced hubby to cut the dreadlocks, Mandi to lose the pink wig and Linzi and Alex finally got their "fro's" under control. They cleaned up pretty good, didn't they!
