This weekend we attended two BBQ's at our friend's houses. Chrissy's birthday party on Saturday evening and my friend Sara's housewarming BBQ on Sunday afternoon.
Rich and me at Chrissy's. Rich is such a goof sometimes.
We were finally able to meet Chrissy's boyfriend Chris and he seems like an amazing person. We're so happy they found each other...now if only he lived a little closer than Wisconsin!

Hi Alexis!
Hanging out after the majority of the crowd had gone home. I think Jess was getting tired.
At the BBQ at Sara's, her son Jake was showing us his climbing skills, after calling me a butt monster and telling me he liked to be covered in poo. What can I say? He's going through a phase?
Sara and I have been friends since I was in college and I love her very much. She is such an amazingly strong woman.
Rich and I have been happily in love since 2000. After unsuccessfully trying to have kids, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and, therefore, we cannot have biological children. We adopted our son Zack through a private adoption from a family member. We hope to someday grow our family further, but for now, we are soaking up every second with our little man. We are also foster parents, which can be both very rewarding and very challenging...but we do our best. We are currently in the process of adopting "Lil' Baby" from the foster system. We've been blessed to have both of our children since they were one day old.
