This week marks the week that we traveled to Russia, three years ago. Can you believe that? It is hard for me to believe because we have encountered so much and everything in our lives has changed.
We don’t often talk with AJ about his adoption because it brings up memories for him that are very […]

Congrats to Michelle!
