February 2014

These four girls moved up a level in gymnastics, and had their first meet. There were teams from 5 states and the competition was tough. They were a little intimidated but did a great job. They were in the youngest group in the meet.

We had a nice Valentines day and dinner out. Deiana and I both got flowers!

February is also when we celebrate this precious girl. It is the month of our court date and gotcha day.

It has been six years with our bundle of love and energy. Seems like she was always ours.

About Us

This is the story of our family beginning with the adoption of our adorable, sweet, and spunky daughter Deiana, whom we adopted from Ukraine in February, 2008, at the age of 4. We have 2 handsome sons, Jordan, and Jeremy , and Deiana, now completes our family. Deiana was born with a cleft lip and palate. Her palate was never repaired in Ukraine so that was the first thing we took care of after we brought her home. Due to this she had never been able to speak, so we had to work very hard at home and in speech therapy. Aside from this she is very healthy and really has no other issues. Deiana is an amazing, loving, resiliant girl and we are blessed to have her.
