Expanding Our Family. Again. Tales of our daily life raising our two sons from Bulgaria. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Bringing Ivan Home - Day 9. And as normal, after dinner we met Ben and Heather for our nightly gelato. Bulgarian gelato is so good. They have lots of different flavors and it doesn't cost much at all. We could get four dishes with one scoop each for about $5 total. Sometimes we even splurged and got two scoops! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Interested in purch...

Expanding Our Family. Again. Tales of our daily life raising our two sons from Bulgaria. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Bringing Ivan Home - Day 8 - More Souvenir Shopping. We bought a few more souvenirs than normal. After the shopping trip Jason stopped by Raffy to pick up a pizza for lunch. The pizza there was very inexpensive (around $5) and was plenty for all four of us. The pizza and a bottle of Coke was a great lunch! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Expanding Our Family... Again: March 2014
http://jasonandkimvanroekel.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Expanding Our Family. Again. Tales of our daily life raising our two sons from Bulgaria. Saturday, March 1, 2014. Lots of positive things seem to be happening in the adoption world. We've watched as several of our friends brought their little ones home this year and others have received referrals to meet their children. It's been so much fun watching the kids blossom with the love of a family. We can't wait until it's our turn to go through that experience again. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Expanding Our Family. Again. Tales of our daily life raising our two sons from Bulgaria. Sunday, August 10, 2014. I grew up in Dana, Indiana. Dana is a small farming community with a population of around 600 that's located about a mile east of the Indiana/Illinois border on Highway 36. Each fall while I was growing up I remember looking forward to the Ernie Pyle Fireman's Festival, or Danafest, as my friends and I called it. Saturday, August 2, 2014. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

This past weekend we travelled to Platte City, MO for the Children's House International Family Reunion. Although we didn't start our second adoption with this agency, I am so thankful that we have been able to work with CHI and become a part of such an amazing family. Here are a few pictures from the weekend. Chilling at the Pool. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). We ar...

Expanding Our Family. Again. Tales of our daily life raising our two sons from Bulgaria. Monday, July 14, 2014. And now that I know he's going to be okay, I feel like I can truly move on. I'm ready to go back to Bulgaria. I'm ready to meet my second son. It's so hard to be patient, but I know we'll receive our referral when the time is right. I miss Bulgaria. I love so many things about that country. The fields full of beautiful sunflowers. Sour Cherry Cappy Juice. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Praying You Home: March 2012
http://prayingyouhome.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Yesterday was a GLORIOUS day! After almost two months of daily paper chasing, I signed, sealed and delivered our Home Study packet to America World-Texas! Well, mailed it so USPS can deliver it. No, we’re not finished, we still have our dossier to compile but this was HUGE for the Krause Family. My impatience begged me to overnight it but it was only going to Dallas AND $44 vs. $8 is a big difference! People, this has me floating on air today! I will refrain from celebrating unti...

Expanding Our Family. Again. Tales of our daily life raising our two sons from Bulgaria. Tuesday, June 10, 2014. A Much Overdue Update. We've taken a lot of trips to the zoo recently. Nikolas enjoys the new orangutan exhibit, and we like to take advantage of the special hours for members. Now that it's warm, the splash park is also a big hit. I'm sure we'll have many more zoo trips over the summer. Last weekend, we visited Conner Prairie for the first time. Nikolas. If you are interested in placing an or...

Expanding Our Family. Again. Tales of our daily life raising our two sons from Bulgaria. Saturday, January 3, 2015. We're still here and doing well, but there just hasn't been much time to update the blog lately. In fact, I started this post back in November and am just now sitting down to finish it. I've got several update posts that I want to write, so I'll do my best to put together more frequent posts. He started kindergarten not being able to write a single letter on his own. He can now write hi...
