We are embarking on our next big adventure (no I am not
pregnant and no we are not adopting again…yet!). Since we have been so
incredibly blessed through adoption we realized we have developed a passion to
help others in this journey. We are
officially associates for America World Adoption Agency. What does this
mean you ask? Jeremy and I will be available to walk with other local families
as they adopt. We will also be helping lead adoption seminars in our area –
just like one we attended that sparked our interest and led us to begin the
process of building our family through adoption. Mark your calendar…our first
seminar is scheduled for September 21st.
There has been an awful lot of negative information floating
around in the media lately surrounding adoption. Not all adoptions are ethical.
But we fully believe AWAA is doing it right and look forward to being able to
educate and empower others to support ethical adoption practices. Check out the
website here:

We would love to talk to you if you are at all interested in adoption. There are no questions that are off
limits. Ask away!
June has been a busy month for us. Here are a few photos of
some recent family fun!

| First trip to the beach...Allia is not a fan of sand! |
 |
| She preferred to sit on her dad so she didn't have to touch the grainy stuff:) |
 |
| Or ride on his shoulders! |
 |
| Grammie came to watch swim class. Allia loves the water! |
 |
| Dad and Allia's first trip to the Tillamook Cheese Factory. |
