The Stapleton Family: What a fun surprise!
http://bethandjoelstapleton.blogspot.com/2010/04/what-fun-surprise.html
Wednesday, April 07, 2010. What a fun surprise! Tonight as I was relaxing on my squishy, purple couch enjoying a DIY show on HGTV and skimming Facebook, I stumbled upon a fun little article. I follow a site called http:/ www.detroitmommies.com/. So immediately I went to check out her blog that she writes about her adoption journey. She and I have so many similiarities. I wish she was my neighbor! We would have so much to talk about! All in all, a delightful surprise to my evening. Posted by Stapes House.

The Stapleton Family: What not to say...
http://bethandjoelstapleton.blogspot.com/2010/04/what-not-to-say.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. What not to say. I know that people mean well and are genuinely interested in what is going on with us. But recently I have had a handful of people (some family, some friends and some others) ask me a similiar question and it is starting to piss me off! Have you heard from the. Do you have contact with his. What don't people understand? I am Gus' mom! I try so hard just to calmly answer people when they ask and when I answer I make sure to use the term.

The Stapleton Family: Sleep and Poop
http://bethandjoelstapleton.blogspot.com/2010/04/sleep-and-poop.html
Wednesday, April 07, 2010. Another fun surprise for us.Gus has been sleeping right through the thunderstorm that we have been having tonight. Joel and I were wondering how he would do with thunder and lightening and if we would have a fussy baby on our hands. Luckily, all went well for his first big thunderstorm. 3- Naps. We knew that our son was getting a couple of naps a day but we weren't sure as to when they made the most sense and not only that but at what point do we put him to sleep? So apparently...

Sunday, January 31, 2010. Okayit took a while to get these posted. Posted by Stapes House. Links to this post. Tuesday, January 19, 2010. It totally slipped my mind! Last week was my one year anniversary of blogging! How could one possibly forget something like that? It was a year ago that we decided to help pass the time of waiting to adopt by starting a blog. We thought it would be a great way to not only pass the time but a way to keep family updated. It wasn't long before we got THE CALL! He is also ...

Sunday, November 29, 2009. I must be crazy. I love long weekends such as the one that we just had.but this was exhausting. Sarah and I kicked off our Thanksgiving Day traditions with a trip to Meijer to check out any deals they have on Thursday before racing back to her house, meeting up with Joel and Jason and going to the Lions Game. Gus was decked out in his Lion's gear for the day while he stayed home with Grandma Jo, Papa Scott, Brendan and Hannah. Posted by Stapes House. Links to this post. I left ...

Saturday, October 31, 2009. Tonight was Gus' 1st Halloween! He couldn't enjoy the candy but he sure was super cute! We continued our Halloween tradition by spending the evening with Amy, Chris and Rylie Sulewski. Thanks to Kathy and Abby Willis for our monkey costume. We had many costumes for this season but this was the winner for Halloween night. Thanks so much! It was perfect for our chunky monkey. A few shots of our chunky monkey! I'm not sure who was having more fun.Gus or Momma? Links to this post.

The Stapleton Family: June 2009
http://bethandjoelstapleton.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2009. I really only feel the need to comment on one of these. The rest are pretty easy to figure out. Joel and Gus took a little nap together and there was a light that shone in Joel's eyes.so he put on his sunglasses. That's my silly husband for you.but it is those things that make me love him even more! Links to this post. Please keep praying for us. We are not out of the woods for another 7 months when the adoption becomes final. We originally started this blog to record the...

The Stapleton Family: December 2009
http://bethandjoelstapleton.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. He can't crawl yet so he couldn't cause too much trouble.so I thought. As I was organizing jammies, I heard the tv in my bedroom turn on and the volume was gradually increasing. Little did I know that the remote was near him! So glad that I had the camera near by! I am sure that this is only the beginning of the shenanigans that I will be blessed to witness. Posted by Stapes House. Links to this post. Friday, December 25, 2009. Posted by Stapes House.
