THE KURTZ FAMILY........OUR ADOPTION JOURNEY

Boxing Day my brother Donnie and Shauna and the kids arrived. We had a turkey dinner with them and opened gifts. We had a wonderful time with them. They were able to stay and spend New Year's with us. Our kids always enjoy spending time with their cousins. Jody and her family joined us for New Year's as well. We spent the evening eating chinese food and playing games. Maya also had her first sleepover at Auntie Jody's house on New Year's eve. Maya loved it, but Denaye did not........Kyle came to the rescue and slept with Denaye all night. Denaye was not upset that Maya went, she was upset that she was not allowed to go.

Christmas was very special this year......our family was complete. Last year our girls were missing from the family photo. Sam had told me that it was a good christmas because I had all of my children with me.....bless his little heart. To all of our family and friends...may 2008 be a special year for all of us and thank you for your love and support....it really means the world to all of our family.

Happy New Year

Rod, Debbie, Taylor, Jesse, Kyle, Sam, Maya and Denaye.
