My New Blog!!!!

I had so much fun blogging about my adoption journey, and especially my time fostering Liana in Guatemala. But I haven't blogged in almost 9 months, and somehow, returning to my "adoption journey" blog just didn't seem right.

And so I did it. I started a new one! Just put in a few entries, but I really promise to keep up with it. Please feel free to come and visit.

Liana's Amazing Adventures

And if anyone wants to re-live my first blog, it is officially retired, but I plan to keep it up. KC's Adoption Journey

Looks great. I can't wait to keep up on her adventures.
Have I noticed before that our kids are just 3 days apart?
