Chocolate Chip Ice Cream: Blessed this Mother's Day
http://scottjillbradley.blogspot.com/2012/05/blessed-this-mothers-day.html
Monday, May 14, 2012. Blessed this Mother's Day. I thought it was appropriate to FINALLY update our blog on this very special Mother's Day. I was treated like a queen ALL day! Here are a few pics below of what we have been up to! This picture was taken by my dear friend Tracy. These two pics are of Hadi and Kaylee's first birthday. Kaylee was adopted from China 2 months after Hadi. Stacie is one of my wonderful friends here in Panama City. They happen to live 2 houses down from us! Evidence of the SPICE!

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream: Happy New Year & Off to Colorado
http://scottjillbradley.blogspot.com/2011/12/happy-new-year-off-to-colorado.html
Thursday, December 29, 2011. Happy New Year and Off to Colorado. I vaguely remember myself saying as we got off of our last flight from picking up Hadi."I'm not going anywhere for a LONG time." Well, it seems we just couldn't go much longer without feeling the mountain air and seeing the beautiful peaks of Colorado. We are leaving tomorrow to fly home and introduce Hadi to our family there. Should be a wonderful time with family and friends! Here are a few pics from Christmas. Court date - June 17, 2011.

Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Home Study Interviews Complete! We have completed another "leg" of our journey! A week and a half ago we completed all four of our Home Study interviews. In nervous preparation for these interviews, I cleaned, prayed, and cleaned some more. All of the interviews went great and we were deemed worthy to adopt a special needs child from China! Each step we take gets us that much closer to becoming a family of five! We are praying it arrives safely. Posted by The Sailers. This fami...

The Sailer Chronicles: Adoption: Six Months
http://sailerchina.blogspot.com/2013/02/six-months.html
Thursday, February 21, 2013. Six months since we held you for the first time. I can hardly believe that we have had Nathan in our arms for six months already! I am going to be honest (because I need to be) and say that adjusting to having Nate in our family has not been easy. Do I absolutely adore him? Would I do it all over again? Have I had days where I just wanted to sit on the floor and cry because I felt overwhelmed? Here are just a few of Nate's many changes over the last 6 months:. February 21, 20...

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream: November 2012
http://scottjillbradley.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 21, 2012. A year ago today we arrived home with our baby girl. She has grown leaps and bounds, in stature and personality. She is still sugar and a whole lot of spice! Tonight we had injera - pancake style. Ethiopian restaurants are no where to be found here in Panama City and I wasn't about to tackle the culinary skill of Ethiopian cooking just yet, so.we did a kid friendly compromise - PANCAKES! We thank God for being home with you. You complete our family! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Friday, July 29, 2011. We have finally put together a video of the first time we met Hadi. It really captures how we felt about her and our first moments together. The song is speaking about the way God feels about us. You can go to the link below or it is also located under"Meeting Hadi" on the side bar. The three "CRAZY" musketeers. Here is a pic of what our boys look like ALL summer here.half dressed. Good thing they are cute! Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Recent pic of Hadi. Pilgrimage to Heaven Video.
