Some crazy stuff has been happenin' over here at adoptbellagrace.blogspot.com. Let us begin with Numero 1:
Wednesday morning I woke up, innocently sipped my Diet Coke and ate my egg bagel, easy butter. I checked my blog, and my whole right sidebar was at the bottom. Over the next few days I spent/wasted a good 10 hours trying to fix my blog. I sat so long at my computer Friday night that (I kid you not) the left side of my face started to go numb. Thankfully, my girl, Jaimee is setting me up with a much needed blog TUNE-UP and a new theme. Gracias, Jaimee!
Number TWO: This is how many weeks until...Number 3: TOTALLY TROPICAL family-of-five vacation
Let me tell you the miracle of how we got this trip. My husband has been praying a long time that God would provide a way for us to take a trip to Hawaii. He told me he was praying about it, but I always kind of dismissed it. Well, shock of all shockers, an acquaintance of my husband calls and says, "I feel like God wants me to help you guys get to Hawaii."
What in the world?
Totally paid for.
We absolutely do not deserve this. I have no clue why God said yes. I'm just in awe and so thankful.




Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".
