My sister had her own language growing up and it's contagious. Our whole family uses it often. Polanks is an all purpose expression, one of our favorites!

Gotcha!
Today is Ana's "Gotcha Day". One year ago today, we were in Guatemala, and our beautiful little girl was placed in our arms forever. I can't believe it's been a year already!
My gosh what a year can bring. It seems like a whirlwind since you first started and what a beaufiful ending it had. Enjoy this day and the many fun filled to come.
We have been married for twelve years. We have three children; Ian is our spunky 10 year old son, Ana is our beautiful yet sassy 4 year old daughter, and our Coopie Monster is already 2 years old! Life is good!
