The family

My family is amazing. I have a wonderful husband Daniel, we have been married almost 1 year. What a year it has been, but that is another post! We have 4 great kids between us. I have 3 girls, two are biological, 1 adopted from Russia. Lauren 16, Shanna 14, and Alina 11(my Russian princess). Dan has one bio son Ethan, 16. We have a houseful when all are with us, the girls are all loud and outgoing, Ethan seems to balance them out he is quiet, reserved, a thinker!(Alot like his dad). Two dogs,(Kiya a bischon frise, Layla a terrier corgi pound puppy) and a cat Chole.

We have a wonderful extended family who has blessed us in more ways than even they know! One would think this was enough.

After I adopted Alina I truely felt my family was going to be just the four of us, my girls and I.

I always said God would have to place THE MAN right in front of me. Well he did. Dan and I met in 2008 and married in 2009. Ok so with 4 kids the family is complete. Or so one would think, but I have this nagging tug at my heart strings(same one that I had 4 years ago when the journey to get Alina began).

Ok so yeah we have 4 kids over half way of being empty nesters....BUT OK GOD are you trying to tell us something is what I keep asking? Forget about it is not going away. We have began to seriously look into a adoption. Dont worry no babies, or girls! We are looking into adopting a preschool boy from Eastern Europe. This is going to be about the journey of our family and to see if the little guy we have fondly been calling Shawn will become a member of the family...Only GOD knows the answer to this time will tell.
