After 4+ years of waiting, our dream of becoming parents is finally a reality! We wanted to be able to share this journey with our friends and family via this blog. We were blessed with the birth of our embryo adopted daughter Makenna Lee on June 2, 2010. We were doubly blessed on October 14, 2013 when Alexander Brooks was born. Alexander and Makenna are genetic siblings and we are so very thankful to their Texas Fan Club for sharing the gift of life with us!

One year ago.....
We found out the news we had been waiting SOOOO long to hear - YOU ARE PREGNANT!!!!! I'll never forget the phone call and the tears that streamed down my face as I let it sink in. It was a beautiful sunny day, much like today and Brad and I were pacing all morning waiting for the phone call. I had knots in my stomach, awaiting the news. We finally got in the car and headed down by the lake and as we were passing Miller Park, my phone rang and the butterflies in my stomach fluttered like crazy. My favorite nurse, Theresa, asked me - "well, do you feel pregnant? Because YOU ARE!!" I am tearing up now as I type this, remembering that feeling all over again. I remember in those weeks of waiting to find out if we were pregnant, reciting the words of Ephesians 3:20 - Now to Him, who is able to do IMMEASURABLY more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us... He sure has done immeasurably more than we could have ever imagined in blessings us with this little girl. She is just so perfect, so beautiful, so precious and so OURS! Gosh, I love her. Thank you, God for doing immeasurably more in our lives!
