Graduation Day

May 28, 2008 - Andrew graduated from High School!! I can't believe that he is all grown up! We all went to the ceremony, Andrew played the piano for the choir. After the graduation we had a party at our house. It was a very fun and exciting day!

Hospital stay

Boop had a very nasty stomach virus called "rotavirus". She got so dehydrated so quickly that she had to be admitted to the hospital overnight for IV fluids. She was so sick! It broke my heart to watch her. The day we brought her home, I got sick with the same virus and was completely down in bed for 3 days... It was miserable! Luckily, Boop (and I) are better now.

Our Family

Cody works in Industrial Performance, Julie is a stay-at- home mom. We have 6 beautiful children; Andrew is 18, CJ is 10, "Noodle" is 7, "Miss T" is 5, "Bean" is 4and "Boop" is 2 years old. We have "built" our family in an interesting way. Andrew was 2 years old when we got married (Julie was married once before), Cody adopted him when he was 6. CJ arrived the traditional way :) after 4 years of "fertility issues". Noodle was placed for adoption with us in 2001, when he was 2 weeks old. Miss T and Bean joined our family in 2006 by adoption through the foster care system. Boop was placed with us in February 2007 when she was 5 months old. We feel so blessed to have these 6 miracles in our life!!
