Where’s the Milky Way?

by Alan Leave a Comment

I really need this cloud to move so I can get a good shot of the Milky Way. My toes are just about frozen solid.

Three Running tips I learned from my new trainer: 1. Randomly laugh for minutes at time for no apparent reason. 2. Always check to see if you are being tracked my a bear or racoon. 3. Hug your running buddy while you are running to motivate each other. Looking forward to learning more from my new running coach. He is the best in the biz.

I told Wil he couldn’t ride his bike with me while I run because the road has icey spots so he was determined to show me that he can run along side me now.
After I got home from my run he told me with confidence that he was going for a run now. After getting him into running shoes instead of cowboy boots he took off down the road.
Doing hard things and pushing his body - made his papa proud.

Nikolas turns 18 today!! He made this video a few

Nikolas turns 18 today!! He made this video a few days after his brother Wil was born, as a guide for everyone that was coming to visit his new brother. I cherish it. He still has a big heart, is an amazing chef and is so talented when it comes to making pottery.
I’m so proud to be his dad.

Growing up in Colombia, she’d never seen snow, let alone had the chance to play in it. Watching her laugh, as she packed the snow, I couldn’t help but think of all the moments she’s missed and all the ones we’ll create together now.
Adoption has stretched us all in ways we never imagined. Trust isn’t built overnight, and facing the hard moments can feel overwhelming. But through every challenge, every doubt, and every time she’s wanted to give up, we’ve found strength in showing up for each other. Love isn’t always easy, but it’s worth fighting for. 💛 #FamilyThroughItAll #AdoptionJourney #TrustTakesTime

Introducing the newest U.S. citizen—Leidy Lawren

Introducing the newest U.S. citizen—Leidy Lawrence! On Friday, she proudly took her oath and officially became a U.S. citizen. To make the day even more special, a boy from her same orphanage, who was also adopted, had the same appointment. They shared this incredible milestone together, becoming U.S. citizens side by side. 💙🇺🇸 #FamilyPride #NewBeginnings

BIG 50! My first gift of the day was getting to se

BIG 50! My first gift of the day was getting to see Leidy be sworn in as a US Citizen in the morning - second gift was a relaxing afteroon/evening with wifey at our favorite hotsprings retreat - final gift was a fun celebration with my kiddos to end the night.
One of my bucket list goals before I turned 50 was to complete the 25 mile Rim to Rim hike in the Grand Canyon in one day - I was fortunate to have the most incredble experience checking that off my list three months before my birtday.
Life is good, Life is GREAT! I am grateful for good health and for experinces in my 50 years of life that push my body and remind me of Gods great gift of being alive on this earth.
Thank you for following our journey!

“I’m going to be a beard guy!”. His goals in

“I’m going to be a beard guy!”. His goals in life right now are to be the first person with Down syndrome on Mars and to have a full beard before his 12th birthday.
When he gives me a a kiss at night he tells me sorry because his believe his microscopic beard hairs are pokey 😂 Love this kid and the way he sees life.

This is Wil’s new phrase. He knows his dad isn’t as generous with kisses as he is, so after he gives me one, he likes to remind me to give him one back by saying, ‘Kiss me like a man!’ 😂
This kid has so much love to give. Even if I go out to the shop for an hour, he gets as excited to see me as if I’d been gone for months.
