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.

Wow - just when you thought you'd seen it all!
Actually, I read a blog post about worm poo the other day. Apparently you can collect your own with a worm farm and it's supposed to be amazing for fertilizing and getting rid of something called "white fly". Again, who knew?

If nothing else, you might get a kick out of the nun who wrote the post. She's rascally!!
We have friends in my home town who grow the stuff!!! They also grow maggots. They are stinking rich, literally :)
