So, what do you think of my new blog look? I’m loving it! For a while now I’ve wanted something more “professional” looking and something more creative than The Roberts House. When I saw that Emily at Jones Design Company was offering an online blog class teaching all the ins and outs of blogging, I […]

Man, oh man! My nesting is in high gear lately. We are in the process of playing musical rooms upstairs moving Carter to the guest room and the nursery to Carter’s old room and turning Coen’s room into his own big boy room – photos to come! Chris won’t let me do much heavy lifting […]

At nineteen months, he likely doesn’t even know that he is being adopted, that soon he will leave his home and come live with us. Having Esinam with us the past two weeks has […]
[Continue reading...]I did it. I booked our tickets. We are going to pick up our son and bring him home. It’s crazy. We leave in less than 2 weeks – September 8th at the crack of dawn. We will barely be there since we arrive the 9th at noon and leave again on the 11th at […]

In addition to the monetary donations that some very generous friends and family made, Christina and Sommer went out of their way to purchase a TON of school supplies AND bags for me to take them to Ghana in!!!!! After dropping Esinam […]
[Continue reading...]I can’t believe it is really happening. Our POA was told today at the embassy that Kwasi’s visa will be granted and will be printed soon. I really just can’t believe it. This has seemed like such a long journey and yet, I know, start to finish it will have been less than 13 months. […]
