John and Rachael,
What a beautiful family. Your home must be full of laughter and activities. We would love to meet them in person. Perhaps we could all meet in Michigan next July 4th. We did not make it this year but are planning (Lord willing) to be there next year.

I'm so glad that you are now a blogger on this site. This makes me so happy. God bless you all...and keep blogging. Love, Aunt Mary

That sounds great! We would absolutely love to see you too. We will have to plan to go to the reunion in michigan.
Yes, you are right, there is never a dull moment in our home! Our boys keep us on our toes at all times.
Talk to you soon, John and Rachael

Wow, life is good with all those kids huh? Tina and I have two, and we are actually contemplating adopting a third. Next time we see you guys we will have to talk about your experiences with it. You guys look so happy! Where do you live now? I saw the picture showing what looked like mountains in the background...
Thanks so much for posting it is so great to hear from you!

We live in a suburb of Phoenix (Apache Junction) in Arizona.
We have great mountian views from our house.

Call me crazy, but I feel like even your adoptive kids have characteristics that look like you two!
