Meet D and T
This is long overdue, as we had this video done in December, but I’m finally getting around to sharing it now. Meet our “twins,” D & T! A is the best big sister and adores them both, and they are so patient with her in return. We love our little family, and are so in […]
Adoption is Hard
Adoption is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and I’ve been through a lot in my life. When I tell people that, they just smile.

Adoption – How Did We Do It?
After adopting our daughter, A, we had a few people reach out asking us how we were matched so quickly, what we did, etc. Then, since adopting our son, D, and daughter T, we’ve had multiple people asking those same questions again, so it seemed like a blog post was in order.

We are STRONG
Something we’ve learned through this whole process of adopting A, and now trying to adopt again, is that we are STRONG. Adoption is harder than we ever thought, and also more rewarding than we ever thought. We worked with Pace Made Designs to design this shirt, and we hadn’t even mentioned the word strong to […]
Letter
Hey there, We’re Pax, K, and A (My name is Lindsay, I go by Pax, a college nickname and my husband is Kelton, I call him K, and we have a daughter Adeline, who we call A). Eight months ago our lives changed when we became parents to A. She is the spunkiest, most adorable, […]
