"I was born with a bronze skin and I like it. Some of my friends were born white or black or yellow. They were not consulted. But that's all right. There are yellow roses, white roses, and red roses and the fragrance of one is about as nice as another." ~Chief Walking Buffalo

It has been about 2 months now since we have been back from Haiti, our whole family intact. We are so happy words can hardly do justice to the feelings of contentment that I have right now. And gratefully I can also now change the tune of this blog (if I can find the time to keep it up) to one of our whole family.

I can also proudly now add in the story of our sweet son Jimmy, who I couldn't blog about for the 2 years that we were his foster parents. We received Jimmy into our home right from the hospital on his 4th day in this big world in the spring of 2010. As our love grew so did our apprehension about his future. We were finally given the green light to begin his adoption when he turned 1 years old and by the time he turned 2, he was officially our son forever. Jimmy's adoption finalized just a few months before we travelled to Haiti to collect our twin team members and now our house is full of love and noise!

Here is a quote that we recently posted on our wall that pretty accurately encompasses what we are all about:


We are celebrating all 3 of our new additions tomorrow afternoon with a 'Welcome to the Family' party. We are so excited and happy to officially introduce them to our family and friends after a couple of month of cocooning and getting to know each other. Thank you to all of our loved ones, old and new, who are joining us on this very special day, and to all who will be here in spirit.

Will post our children's videos next -4 special videos of our 5 special people. We love them so much!
