More Thanksgiving Fun



Erica, Macall and Scott = a very happy holiday



Poor Daniel had to fly home to VA with a fever. He was exhausted and then his ears hurt on landing (as we heard screaming for 20 minutes). We finally got him home and he was a sick little boy last night.

Uncle Scott and Daniel saying "Oh man!" - Daniel's favorite saying from Swiper on Dora

We went to the Houston Zoo the day after Thanksgiving. Daniel especially liked the tiger which was roaring while we were there!

We had the best holiday ever with our family! It is so much fun to see Daniel and Macall together. We are THANKFUL for our wonderful family and friends. And we are blessed by having Daniel and Macall and Hayden in our lives.

Happy Thanksgiving


Holly and Macall sharing a hug. She really likes my singing and my laugh!


Macall and Mommy at Thanksgiving Dinner




The whole family at our Thanksgiving meal. Scott did an amazing job making a delicious meal including deep fried turkey (the best ever). Daniel had a bagel and fruit so he missed out on the wonderful food.

Daniel had such a great time on his trip to Houston to visit Aunt Erica and Uncle Scott and to finally meet Macall. Plus Gram and Pop-pop were also there! Daniel went on his first boat ride at Houston Harbor and saw lots of huge ocean liners and military ships.

About Me

We first heard about Gladney Center for Adoption in January of 2005 when we met with Pastor Stephen and Paula. In March of 2005 we attended an orientation at Gladney in Fort Worth, Texas. We adopted Daniel on September 12, 2007! Now we are waiting for a special child to complete our family.
