We began the process to adopt a child from the Philippines in January 2007 and received ICAB approval in May 2008. On October 29, 2010 we were matched with our son Rafael and he joined our family on February 20, 2011!! Now we are home and are enjoying the adventures of parenting!!

Christmas fun
Last weekend I had wreath making with my friends at work. It was a beautiful snowy day and we had hot chocolate and cookies. Here is the end product of all my hard work. I also have bangs now. The last time that I had bangs, I was in grade 6 so after getting my hair cut I feel so young!! They're starting to grow on me now though.
Last night I had the running girls and their husbands over for a Newfie Christmas night. We cooked all Newfoundland dishes and my favorite was pea soup. I had two bowls! Brian made some bacon wrapped moose and I made banana caramel bread pudding. It was my first time ever making it but I wanted to try as it was delicious when I had it at a restaurant earlier in the week. It turned out great and unfortunately there were no leftovers. I'll be making that recipe again for sure.

I love your bangs, they look great on you! I am trying to let mine grow out.
I hope you and Brian have a great Christmas!!
I also love your bangs! I've been debating cutting mine. What are some other Newfie dishes? I'm curious. Tonight I had a Minnesota favorite at Christmastime - lefse!! So yummy in the tummy :) Your wreath is beautiful - nice work!!
Rachel, we had peasoup, moose stew, bacon wrapped moose, shipwreck dinner, cod tongues, and partridge berry cake with newfie screech sauce. A very interesting combination!!
I like your bangs too. There is no way that I am going back to bangs as the last time I had them, it was the 80's...half curled up and the lower half down with lots of poof. Ugh!
Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas! You guys always have such a fun social circle of people to do things with.
