New Family Pics

I realized that all of our pictures on our blog are incredibly old, 2 years old to be exact, and needless to say we look a lot different!  We also haven't done much updating in a REALLY long time!  So I thought I would add some of our most recent pictures.  They were taken back in May, soon after I had surgery.  It seemed to be an especially cold spring so we toughed it out and got the pictures taken.  Here's a few of our favorites.

 And of course Chad had to be difficult...

Doin' What We Do

It's been a while since we post on our blog, so I wanted to just add a few little updates.  The adoption/infertility road has definitely been a roller coaster.  We are just so happy to have each other through everything and we both agree that our marriage and our relationship are better than ever.  If nothing else, we have grown closer through our trials.

We haven't stopped doing the things that we love to do and one of those things of course is traveling.  We take every opportunity we can to head back to California to visit family, the beach and of course Disneyland!  And Tara can't get enough of the shopping whenever we are there!  For Christmas 2009, Tara's parents took the family to England!  It was amazing and we absolutely fell in love with all things British!  Well except for maybe English food... This year for Christmas will also be an adventure as we head to... Italy!  Tara has always loved Europe and has been wanting to go to Italy ever since she can remember.  We'll see if we fall in love with Italy as much as we love England!

Tara made Chad stand in a telephone booth just for a picture...
