Our second adoption journey

We are on our way to find our missing piece, again.  We've been thinking about this for a while, our 3 year old, "G", has been very persistent on asking where his "little brother" is, and all our paperwork is signed and complete so here we go! If you have never met us please read our short bio under "Our Adoption Journey." Here is a pictures to recap from when I blogged last to now. I only took 3 years off of blogging, no biggie right? :)

"G" was born December 3, 2013 in Arkansas. We spent 2 and a half weeks there before we were able to come  home. We maintain an open relationship on FB with his birth parents.

Jessica enjoys running, Tyler tolerates it; but combine it with 10 other people, sleeping in a van and eating lots of food he'd in. This race was a 250 mile over night race we ran together.   August 2016

Life can be busy, crazy and unpredictable but with family anything is possible.

Tyler was born to be a dad and this little boy absolutely adores his daddy

We throw a Halloween party every year with friends and family. It's a tradition we started  in 2009 and every year gets better and better.

Here we are waiting to get fingerprinted for our back ground check, part of the home study. We're so excited all our paperwork is finished and we can begin our search. Please feel free to share our story and thank you for all the prayers and well wishes so far, and the ones we know will come in the future.  Love, Tyler, Jessica and G
