Media Blitz: An Adoption Giveaway!

Hello Everyone!

It is no secret that the a major key to finding a birth-mother in adoption is exposure.  One of our friends suggested doing what they called a media blitz: getting our profile out there through a giveaway on the blog.  We thought it was a great idea!  So that is exactly what we are going to do this week.  It's pretty simply.  We have two $25 Amazon gift cards that we are going to randomly give away to those who share our adoption profile: nearyperfect.weebly.com.  We've updated almost everything on the profile. We can't have people thinking Hyrum is six months old any more (He's almost 18 months--Yikes)!
 
You can simply copy and paste the site, or you can go to our Facebook page if you are one of our friends and share it from there.  Then leave a comment below telling us that you shared!  You can earn additional entries for each media outlet you share our profile on: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Blog, Google+... we're really not picky.  Also get an extra entry for sharing this giveaway!  The giveaway will be going all week, and will end this Saturday, January 17, at 8pm.  Thank you all for your help in our adoption journey.  We know there is a beautiful child out there that will be part of our family one day :)  

Joseph and Melissa


UPDATE: Congratulations to Camille Crandall and Lindsey Parmenter on being our winners!  We sincerely appreciate all who shared and for your help on our adoption journey!

Christmas and Kathryn's Homecoming


Christmas was pretty low-key around here this year.


There were Christmas parades...



And seeing Christmas trees around town...




And of course meeting Santa.  Lydia really liked him once she found out he had candy :)


But my favorite part by far was my sister, Kathryn, returning from her LDS mission in Helsinki, Finland.  I love having all of us siblings back together again!
