About Me
- Angel
- My name is Angel. I'm 34 yrs old. I'm a homeschooling, gluten free, Jesus loving, Disney going, Twilight reading, nose ring wearing, picture taking,world traveling, orphan holding warrior girl of a mom to 4 beautiful children. Each of our children is such a blessing. I can't imagine life without the joy they bring. Of course... never 2 b forgotten...I have an amazing husband (Russ) who I adore w/all of my heart. I would pick him over any man in the world- hands down. Plus he is super hot too. :o) Living an average life doesn't cut it for us. Who knows what wild adventures lie ahead. I guess I have what most people might consider kind of a crazy life. I wouldn't want it any other way. My life is amazing. The ups and downs have taught me so much along the way. I am excited to see where God leads us. It's gonna be GREAT! Join us for the journey... Angel

Pop
This is Pop! He is married to Nonny- Russ' Father
Nonny
This is Nonny! She is married to Pop- Russ' Mother
Polka Dot
This is Polka Dot! She is married to Grandpa- Angel's Mother
Grandpa
This is Grandpa! He is married to Polka Dot- Angel's Father
Cousin Lauren
This is Lauren! (the one in the middle)
Lauren
This is Lauren and her brothers. You knew her as Esperanza if you followed Zoe's adoption in Guatemala. Zoe and Lauren were very close in Guatemala as they both waited to be adopted. Now Lauren lives in the US with her biological brothers (shown with her here) who were adopted before she was and her wonderful new parents!
Tia Bek
This is Tia Bek. She is my mom's best buddy and a part of the family. Zoe adores her and Bek speaks to her in Spanish to help her keep it as a second language.
Scott and Carol
This is Scott and Carol with Lauren. They are her parents. These people are beyond amazing. They adopted Lauren's younger siblings. Her youngest brother had a rare extremely life threatening disease. After over a year of battling for his life they started the process to adopt Lauren. They are some of the strongest people I know. I am so grateful that we get to know them through our girls. We are meeting them in Sea World this summer with all our kiddos! YAY!
Lidia
This is Lidia! She was Zoe's foster sister in Guatemala. She was waiting along with Lauren and Zoe. She came home to her amazing family in the US a couple of months before Zoe. She was nine years old when she got home. Zoe and Lidia are extremely close. We went to visit them in July.
Lidia's family
This is Lidia's family! They are experienced in the adoption world. Before they adopted Lidia they adopted Bayla (their youngest) from China. Now Brinley has come home from China too. Congrats! Lisa (Lidia's Momma) found me from my blog during our first visit to Guatemala. She just "happened" to run across my blog and see that my pictures (of Zoe) had the same house furniture as her pics of Lidia. She wrote to me and SURE ENOUGH our girls were foster sisters. We had the same lawyer but different agencies. We probably never would have met if God hadn't intervened. Now we are great friends!
G- foster mommy
We will call this sweet lady G for her privacy- she was Zoe's foster mommy in Guatemala. She is wonderful and I have the highest respect for the love and care she gave my sweet girl. Zoe lived with her for over a year before coming home with us. I truly thank God for this wonderful foster family. Zoe speaks with G and her family on the phone often.
The struggle to bring Zoe home- Praise You In This Storm

What a li'l love bug!!! Mimi Cate did the same thing as she transitioned from one room to another. Once she got her glasses, she flew through thresholds. As I type this, Mimi Cate just broke out into song, "Might to Save." I just asked why she picked that song to sing. She said, "Li'l Kaiya just loves that song so much!"
She's beautiful!
JB
Her smile is so cute. I just want to squeeze her and give her lots of hugs and kisses.

Angel, I have been super busy with the end of school, but I take a minute each night to check in. I am so happy to see all of the pictures. I am amazed at how quickly you two are settling in with one another! It is incredible to watch your relationship evolve. I know you are so ready to be home with her and with your other two girls (and hubby too). Oh, and China is just beautiful. I really had no idea!
