The Aprecios: July 2015
http://hollyaprecio.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Days have gone by since we have heard about the baby girl we held in our arms a week ago. We have grasped to as much hope as we could, but we feel now that it is time to move on. This is our third failed adoption just this year. You'd think by now we would be used to it, or just assume early on that this would be our ending. But we're not, and we don't. Failed adoption is HARD. There are so many emotions that go along with loss, and each is valid, although some are unexpected&#...

The Aprecios: September 2013
http://hollyaprecio.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 20, 2013. Our "adventure" themed nursery. We are officially ready to welcome baby brother into his room! I had WAY too much fun designing this nursery. These we're Sam's first shoes and I am so glad that we saved them. These are images of some of the 7 wonders of the world. (Machu Pichu, the Pyramids, The Great Wall, Jesus in Rio and the Taj Mahal). On the wall opposite of the crib is a map of the world. (No, it's not perfect but it was not easy painting this freehand! Excitement and ex...

The Aprecios: November 2013

Sunday, November 17, 2013. Adoption Question and Answer. Do you have an open or closed adoption? Do you have contact with the birthmother/father? UPDATE: We are currently in contact through email with our birthmother and we love to be able to send her pictures of Miles and hear how she and her sweet daughter are doing. We are thankful for the opportunity to thank her and let her know how loved this little boy is! What do you plan on telling Miles when he asks about his biological family and adoption?

The Aprecios: April 2014
http://hollyaprecio.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 27, 2014. Sam is officially a 5 year old. Whoa. He and I had the greatest time planning his pirate party, and and even greater time attending it. Sam insisted on a piñata. Luckily everyone survived the beating. I was WAY too lazy to do a fancy cake this year. Thanks to Safeway, the kid was just as happy (if not happier) with cheap decorated cupcakes. Grandma bought Sammy this ship kit and Sam loved making it for his party decorations. Eye patches (Target) and gold coins (Party City). Miles ...

The Aprecios: Celebrating Sam.
http://hollyaprecio.blogspot.com/2015/04/celebrating-sam.html
Friday, April 17, 2015. This weekend we celebrate Sammy turning six years old. SIX! How is that possible? Sam is such an amazing kid. He has such a deep love for people and animals and this boy's heart is BIG. He has proven to be the best big brother to Miles, always watching out for him and helping him learn and grow. Sam is so curious! Swimming and Jiu-Jitsu. He loves to learn new things. We are so in love with our Sammy Boy. He has taught us so much about love and acceptance. He's as calm and ...He is...

The Aprecios: January 2015
http://hollyaprecio.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 27, 2015. A name and a celebration. Girl names. Something Matt and I have struggled with while waiting for all of our babies. Fortunately for us, we ended up with 2 boys :) This time however, we are 100% sure we are having a girl and it is time to nail down a name for her. We sent a list of our favorite flower names to the birth family. Both the birth mother and father picked the same name that Matt and I were hoping to call her. This weekend I was given the most beautiful shower in hono...

The Aprecios: Have hope.
http://hollyaprecio.blogspot.com/2015/06/have-hope.html
Monday, June 01, 2015. Once you choose hope, anything is possible." -Christopher Reeve. In all of the heartache and loss that our family has lived through, nothing has ever made us lose all hope. We have always known that if we keep trying, our family will continue to grow. Miles' birth has always been proof of that. Hope shines brightest in the darkest moments.". Are we scared at the possibility of being heartbroken again? Be felt when expecting something so very special. So, we are conquering our fears...

Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Matthew and I get a trip to London. Matt was sent by his employer to do some training in their London office and even though the timing was less than ideal, I HAD to tag along. This was our first international flight and we were pretty excited to be getting a stamp in our passport. After a very LONG and uncomfortable flight, we arrived in England and started exploring right away. We stopped into Neil's Yard for some pictures and shopping. Then I walked East down the Thames and c...
