My blog about parenting biological and adopted kids, some with everyday kid issues and some with much more serious medical/behavioral issues. I don't care if anyone else ever reads this, my main purpose is for me to have somewhere to vent some of my thoughts, frustrations and successes. If it sounds like I'm complaining, I'm not. My kids are everything to me, I love them more than anything, but sometimes I just need to let it all out!

The ONLY reason I post pictures is because Nick got this thing (I'm sure that's the correct technical term!) that automatically transfers the pictures from the camera to the computer. It's awesome. All I have to do is make sure not to turn the camera off before the pictures are finished transferring.
