http://mckinleymayanmemos.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Our journey to bring our son home. Thursday, January 24, 2008. 3rd time is the charm! Thank God, we finally have our son's Social Security Number! Or rather it should be coming in the mail in about 2 weeks. I try to be patient.I know dealing with most government agencies isn't really what you would call "fun".but why does it always have to be so difficult? And I must say that the K-man was quite a trooper.only whined a bit here and there. Granddaddy Jacobs introducing K-man to snow. Christmas, Incriminat...

Our journey to bring our son home. Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Stepped on a Pop Top, had to cruise on back home. So, I'm sure you've all felt a great deficit in your life in recent months. And I'm also sure you didn't realize it was because I haven't sent any exciting blog updates! Seriously though, most of you know what has or has not been happening with us "McKinleys of the South", and it just wasn't that interesting to post. But, alas, my public cries out to me for more and I hear their woe! Melissa and P...

http://mckinleymayanmemos.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Our journey to bring our son home. Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Today is a good day. No, we didn't get pink yet, (. No, we still don't know if Mike will graduate this semester, but its a good day. I feel like God has been trying to help me see that. This year has been tough.a lot of waiting, a lot of late nights for Mike, a lot of disappointment and missed expectations, but we've had a lot of good days too. And I don't think I've been fully appreciating that. Today is a good day. :-). Mike did a great job ...

Our journey to bring our son home. Friday, July 10, 2009. Shootin', splashin', and tuggin'. Summer has definitely reached Atlanta. The heat and humidity are enough to make the sidewalk sweat. And you won't be seeing any straight hair from me again until at least September. Curly and frizzy is the look for me! Mike turned the big 3-9 last month so I let him blow off some steam* ( see initial reference to weather in Atlanta. As soon as he can beat Michael Phelps' time on the 400 Meter. We also had a splash...

Our journey to bring our son home. Wednesday, December 2, 2009. We won't be mailing out Christmas cards this year so I decided to "blog" our greeting.

Mike, Kaden and I are healthy and happy. Although I know Mike would prefer to have gainful employment right now, it has been special to have him around&#...3) Pe...
