Too late to blog

It is 10:30pm and I am sitting down at my computer for the first time today. We had such a busy day, I just haven't had a chance to sit down.

Finley is sick. Asked to take a nap this afternoon and actually took one for 2 1/2 hours. Woke up and she was warm. Hopefully she will be feeling more like herself tomorrow.

My mom comes in tomorrow for a week long visit. We are looking forward to seeing her. Hopefully I will have a better chance to take pictures with her here!

So......tomorrow.

We are a family of 5 living in Massachusetts. Mat and I have been married for 16 years, and we have three children. Arlington is 11 years old, and Finley and Cainan are 8 years old. We adopted Cainan from China when he was 14 months old. He was born with cleft lip and palate level three. This blog started out as our journey to bring him into our family and has turned into our family blog. He and Finley are only 30 days apart!! We love being a blended family, and enjoy sharing about our trials and tribulations through becoming one! Also, our daughter Finley was diagnosed in 2009 with Lebers Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) a rare genetic eye condition that has made her legally blind. Come and read about our proud family!
