• About:

    I swore I would never drive a minivan, so I went through a bit of an identity crisis when we finally broke down and bought one. But now I've decided to get over myself, and fully embrace my life as a suburban, minivan-driving, Mommy Blogger. Since my family rocks, and my family and the minivan are a package deal, I am hereby declaring that My Minivan Rocks!

    This blog is about so much more than my minivan; It's about the three beautiful kids who fill the carseats in my minivan. Christian and I were married in May 2003. After fertility treatments, our son Noah was born to us in January 2006. Our daughter Zoe was born in November 2006 in Phu Tho, Vietnam, and came home when she was four-months-old. Colin is our baby boy. He was born in July 2008 and came home when he was two-days-old through domestic adoption.

    We never planned to have our children THIS close together (we are probably the only people on the planet who can say they had two adoptions happen more quickly than expected), but we are enjoying our crazy new life!

Welcome home, Hudson!

Christian’s brother Kurt and his wife Leah were finally able to bring home their son, Hudson, yesterday. Hudson was born August 20th, even though he wasn’t due until mid-November. He spent the last 80 days in the NICU.
We’re so happy for the three of you!

Thank you

First, I want to say thank you for the support and encouragement that most of you have given over the past few days. The majority of comments and e-mails I have received about my recent posts to this blog (and to several adoption Yahoo groups) have been very positive. I have tried to respond to [...]
