Welcome to our Blog

I was told I could not put pictures of our DD on the computer. So I made my blog private. Now that my agency called her my daughter and she has our last name I think I can. So this is my blogspot if anyone is interested. It is not one of those fancy ones, but it definately shows off my peanut.
