So, since nobody wants to read five years of archives to get a feel for what this blog is about, here's some of my favourite posts, in no particular order. These are mostly posts about stuff, rather than posts about our story, so you can read them in any order. If you want to read more about our story... did I mention I wrote a book?
Oh, and if you want to work out where all these posts fit in... we adopted our babies in October 2009.
