Location Austin, Texas, United States
Introduction I'm a native Austinite and currently live in the Westlake area with my husband of 21 years (Alex), 2 sons ( Will & Sam), 2 daughters (Remy & Tara) and 2 dogs (Copper & Buddy). Our family recently expanded to include the girls (from Ethiopia) and this blog is to chronicle the ups and downs, ins and outs of this major change. I hope that what I share will in some way offer support to others that like us, have jumped feet first into adoption .
Interests reading, dogs, kids, design & decor
Favorite Movies The Wizard of Oz, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Terms of Endearment, The Help, The Incredibles, True Grit (most recent one)
Favorite Music I will sing with anything that is catchy. I love rock, pop, country, metal, salsa, alternative. So it ranges from Tammy Wynette to 80's pop, to the Gypsy Kings to Young the Giant and Audio Slave.
Favorite Books I love historical fiction but I have to many books to list. Here's a sampling of what I like to read: Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Alias Grace, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Abraham, The Lovely Bones, the Bible, Wild at Heart
