Grandma Mae passed away today, Sunday July 1st. Sierra and Grandma Mae had a special bond and Sierra has never experienced a death before so we will miss Grandma Mae terribly.
Cousins
Sierra is a fabulous big cousin and she will be a fabulous big sister! Here she is with her beautiful baby cousin, Logan, and a referral photo of her baby sister.
We received our referral on June 7th. Jennifer from Heartsent called me at work and I was nearly speechless. My daughter, Sierra, was at work with me because she comes with me on Thursdays through the summer. We called daddy and told him and he actually was speechless. We then all rushed to the agency to see the first photos and sign the paper work. It was very surreal. I still remember seeing the first ultrasound photos of Sierra and this was similar, except these photos are in color and definitely clearer! So now we officially have a baby waiting for us. A second child for Jeremy and me. A baby sister for Sierra. A younger cousin for Logan. Another playmate for the dogs and another annoyance for Stormy the cat. Sometime in the next few months we are going to fly to Taiwan to meet and bring home a new little person to be in our family. It's exciting and scary. Suddenly I feel the need to get a baby room ready and go out and buy some baby things.
The three of us
Celebrating Mommy's birthday - the day after we started our adoption!
We have always maintained a website (although I have gone through long dry spells) detailing our lives, primarily our daughter Sierra's life, because Jeremy's family live in England (and my aunt lives in MO) and we live in California, but this is our first blog. I have no idea what the difference is between a website and a blog but I've been told that I am now a blogger! So, welcome to our blog, just don't expect too much blogging from me!

congratulations Sierra!
Samantha has really grown quite a lot! Steve couldn't believe she is the same baby girl we saw in October.
Great Job Sierra. You'll be a great scientist one day!
