Our Family - Established May 17, 2003
The definition of family in most people's minds includes children. People ask, "When are you going to start a family?" Our family began the day Mark and I were married.
Our Expanded Family
This is our first picture as a family of three, soon after we met our precious Emma.

This is our little beauty at one day old.
A frozen life, waiting for a chance to live.
One leg of our family journey was Embryo Adoption {Embryo Donation}. Pictured above is a day 3 embryo--3 days after conception, as small as the period at the end of a sentence, and it IS LIFE! Because each one is unique, frozen embryos are sometimes called Snowflakes {Snowflakes is the name of an Embryo Adoption program through Nightlight Christian Adoption}, or Frosties. We had seven frosties, frozen at day 3, and donated by one couple, and 6 other frosties from another couple. We have had three separate embryo transfers, with three embryos transferred each time. One transfer resulted in a pregnancy. Unfortunately that baby, that we later named Bella Hope, went to heaven shortly before the end of the first trimester.
