The Journey of a Lifetime
Ryan and I have decided to pursue our forth adoption and add another beautiful baby to our family. We couldn't be happier and are thrilled! Join us in our journey in adopting baby Schlenner!


Time DOES fly by so fast. September is HERE and September in Minnesota is wonderful this time of year. My favorite time of the year to be exact! Beautiful fall weather, cool evenings, bond fires and smores, and the changing of the leaves are thrilling and fun!
Ahnya continues to grow and change everyday. I am so thankful to be able to be home with the girls and be apart of their ever changing lives. I have the best job in the world! Thank you God!
Happy Fall everyone!


Jocelyn had a magnificent day at 5 year old preschool!!!!!! She loves Mrs. Macht and is eager to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's going to be a great year!!
Gabriella started first grade this morning and I once again feel like I have a huge hole in my heart. She was nervous and excited all at the same time while getting ready today. I hope and pray she'll have a super great day. She's bound to at HRS and I know she'll love first grade. It's just so hard to see her grow up........................



I love you Gabriella! Have a super day at school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a bunch of storms at the lake that made me wonder if the roof was going to blow off the house. However, after the storms passed we were left with the most beautiful rainbows. I have dozens of pics of these rainbows and they take my breath away!

Mommy and Ahnya! Jocelyn took this picture!

The two big sisters..........................................................

We had an amazing summer at the lake! The girls had so much fun and we all loved our time at Lake Minnewaska.

Daddy surprised us in July with a jet ski! THANK YOU daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gabriella caught a couple dozen sunnies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jocelyn was second runner up catching fish on the pontoon, too! However, she was more interested in the snacks on the boat!
