Thanks for joining in on our journey towards creating our forever family...

This is the place you can come to witness the adventures we experience as we adopt our child from the beautiful country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We hope you will come back often to learn about where we're at in the process, the culture of our child, our hopes and dreams, and to leave comments of encouragement.

FOLKFEST 2008...


This year the Caribbean Pavilion's theme was PARROTS
of the CARIBBEAN which took place August 14, 15 and 16!
It was a fun filled weekend that allowed us to transport ourselves to the festive and exotic atmosphere of the Caribbean. The music had us dancing to the sweet, exotic rhythms of the Steel Band, African, Caribbean, Latin and Limbo dancers and performers. The food was spicy and included curried and jerk chicken, beef patties, festival, roti, all served from an authentic setting in the islands.


We were fortunate enough to volunteer both Friday and Saturday evening and even had some of our family and friends volunteer as well. Scott welcomed people into the pavilion with his best Caribbean accent (everyone was laughing at him which only encouraged him more) and Desiree worked with the children making Caribbean masks as well as doing a variety of other activities. We ended up creating sunny memories as we celebrated the Islands and the arrival of our child! It only made us that much more excited to get our little one...
