Tahoe

The view from our deck. It doesn't get better.

I was way to busy doing NOTHING at Tahoe to take a bunch of pictures.

We had a GREAT time. We got to Tahoe Tuesday afternoon and got settled into our cabin. Then headed down to the beach. Marcus and Fenn played and played. Mel and I had pre-made dinners for each night (brilliant) so it was a piece of cake to feed the kids and then head back down to the beach. Unfortunately I forgot half of the ingredients for pancakes (butter and syrup) so we went to the lodge for breakfast and then headed down to the beach. My mom, grandma, and Claudia came up for the day and so did Julie and her girls and Nathan's sisters and their kids. My nephew Jace told his mom "This is the best vacation ever" and I must say I totally agree. The kids played so hard that Marcus went into global meltdown that night because he was so tired. We drove around the lake the next day before heading home. It was soooo much fun.

We will be going again next year. Anyone like to join us!?!?

Favorite Adoption Quotes

A Birthmother puts the needs of her child above the wants of her heart.
When you honor the birth family, you honor the child.
By choice, we have become a family, first in our hearts, and finally in breath and being.
We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It was not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life to this child.
Time and experience have taught me a priceless lesson, any child you take for your own becomes your own if you give of yourself to that child.
If a child is born and raised in family that is loving and nurturing, where there is complete truth about who we are, you can't give a child any greater place from which to fly.
