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!

Cold winter days...
We've been trying to keep busy this winter doing lots of fun stuff...
Last Friday, daddy took the day off and we all went to see Frozen - we loved it!
This was Makenna on one of the really cold days last week....
Hmmm, what to do today?!
So, I busted out her bike and she did AWESOME riding it in the basement!
She's cruising on it now!
And here is Alex totally konked out while she rides...
Silly girl!
We've also spent a few days baking. I LOVE to bake and this little one loves to help me!
So does this little one...
And we even try to get Alex involved..
Silly boy

New Year's Eve & the Badgers
We had a great night New Year's Eve celebrating with the neighbors
Homemade s'mores!
These 2 are going to be best buds someday... Vince is 7 months old
Showing off their decorated party hats
New Year's Day started off with some good snuggle time
And getting ready for the BADGER game, of course!
Alex tried to rally the troops after the third quarter with his jump around shirt.
What a couple sweeties
Love those smiles...
Unfortunately they weren't enough to win the game, but we had fun anyway!
Happy New Year!
