When I find something that I like from one company - I tend to only get stuff from that company. For example - sunglasses. I have purchased 4 pair of sunglasses over the last few years. Each have been made by Smith Sport Optics. You might be wondering - if they’re so nice why do you have to keep buying new ones. My answer - Shelby, my dog. She has chewed up 2 pair - one pair after about 2 months of having them and the other after about 6 years of quality service. It goes beyond the name too, sure I think it’s pretty cool that they are Smith and I am Smith. But they’re great sunglassees. Another example - shoes. I pretty much only buy my casual shoes from Simple. My most recent pair are orange. I got Kirsten a pair of Simple flip-flops and she likes them. It all started with my clogs and I’ve been on a simple streak for about 8 years now. [...] [...] 3. I’m extremely brand loyal.

I love reading your posts because you are so honest about your feelings, both your joys and your doubts. You can't know what a help that is to someone miles away going through the same kinds of things. I am so happy for you and your "All American Family" which you certainly are. I so look forward to more updates! Wonderful, just wonderful! I love reading your posts because you are so honest about your feelings, both your joys and your doubts.

It just seems so beautiful to me. Amazing, grace filled, honest, grounded, real. Thank God for blogs. It gives us out here an oportunity to experiencr your stories in a way we never could have even 5 years ago. Even from Michigan. I cant wait to read more, To learn more, and to experience more as I read about your family. Yesterday, jack began to walk. I cannot tell you how I felt inside to see him do that. I think it was a mixture of being more proud than i had ever been before, but also a small sence of loss. I mean, he will never just crawl again. Life moves so fast. Today he and I spent a large part of the day together, and we sang alot. Oh and he joins me in singing too. This is so much fun. I just love him so much, and I can only image the love you feel for your three children. Know that at least two people are just overwhelmed with joy for your new family, and we can't wait to meet them. derrak kirsten,
