Daniel's First Baseball Game


Michael, Daniel and Holly at Daniel's first baseball game (our first time at the new National's Park which is a great ballpark even if we were cheering for the Orioles)


Ella-Anne getting into the game


When I asked Daniel if he wants to be a baseball player he said, "OK". Of course he also wants to be a pilot.


Daniel loves baseball!


Alex and Daniel goofing around at the game


Results of two toddlers with ice cream - sticky hair for Daniel

Daniel loved the largest slice of pizza ever!

We went to National's Park with Jane, Greg, Alex and Ella-Anne today! We all had a fabulous time and Daniel especially enjoyed his first baseball game even though the Orioles lost in extra innings.

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.
