We finally made our blog


Ok so is took me awhile to set it up, but now that I finally did it I can keep up. For those of my friends who don't know, Jordan and I adopted twins!! They are so much fun and we love them so much! They are almost two months and we got them right out of the hospital here in Detroit. We are still waiting on the process to be partially finalized, which woul dbe the relinquisment of the birth mothers rights. It's a scary time because she still has rights, kind of, to the babies. Once her rights have been relinquised then we wait 6 months by law, so social workers can stop by and make there visits to say we are fit parents, and then we can have them sealed and blessed to us. We are still deciding on where we will go for the blessing and sealing, if it will be Utah or Idaho. but it will definitly be one of the two.


The boys are growing so fast. When they were born Ayden was 5 lbs 2 oz and Gavin was 5 lbs 6 oz. At there month visit Ayden was 7 lbs 4 oz andGavin was 7 lbs 6 oz. Ayden is catching up! They both gave us scares and had to see the cardiologist. With Ayden we were in the ER room from 7:30 at night until 9:00 the following night. All is well though and so far they are healthy boys!



My mother-in -law came and stayed for a week and my mom stayed the following week. In between my sister came for an extended weekend with my mom and theough a shower. It was great to have family here to meet the boys and for some help as well.



We had alot of fun on Halloween, Gavin was a pumpkin and Ayden was a spider. We got them together with their cousins, Ellie and Haven, it was so funny. Ayden starting crying and Ellie would pat him on the side and say "It's ok" and have a big smile on her face, she is such a good helper with them. She always loves to help feed them and pats them on the head. Haven coos as she watches them and is learning to be "so very soft". They are so fun to watch. We have had alot of fun with Travis and Kassie living close by.

Kassie came over the other day and I did her hair and in return she was going to watch the boys while Jordan colored my hair. Jordan wanted to play Xbox and volunteered to watch the boys at the same time while I taught Kassie to do my hair, ya right, but I thought I would let him prove him self. Well, he is teaching to boys bad habits beacuse they were mesmerized, it was funny.


We are very excited about this new transition in our lives, we have been waiting a long time. We know the Lord has a hand in all things and brought these boys into our home. It is amazing to look back and see all the steps that were taken to get where we are today and we know that the Lord has been guiding us in each and every step we have taken, wether it be big or small.



At some point, the sleep has to kick in...

Hey Chandra-
I'm Becky Dunkley's sister. I heard you had adopted and I had to take a peek. I hope you don't mind. I feel for you sister. On our last adoption it took 8 months to terminate the birthfather's rights, so Gabe was almost 10 months when we went to the temple. Hang in there. All will workout. The Lord is watching over you. Have fun with your new little family!
