was actually quite a long time ago. By now, I'm sure you've heard much about our story. We are so beyond thrilled about the eminent arrival of our wonderful blessing, Tanner James (we are just going to call him Tanner :)). We have been waiting for what seems like forever to start our family and we are so blessed to have it beginning in this way. Adoption is SO amazing. What a God thing!
It is nearly impossible to plan our trip to California at this point (Tanner will be born in Redding). A c-section is tentatively scheduled for October 6, but the birth mother has a history of delivering early, so we really don't know when we will be going. If she goes into labor early, we will receive the call and head on our way. We have the hotel and rental car on stand by, but will just grab a flight when the time arrives (the penalties for changing is just too ridiculous!). We really, really hope to be at the hospital for the delivery, though.
We have enjoyed getting to know the birth mother over the past several months. She is a great person and is someone that I really enjoy talking to. She is very funny and has a great personality...she has one of those contagious laughs that can't help but put you in a good mood! :) The time always flies when we get to talking.
I am starting this blog so that we can keep everyone posted during our trip and first days as a family. Of course, you should expect LOTS of pictures and even some video (we've got all the gear we need to keep you guys entertained until you can meet the little guy in person!), plus text letting you know what we are up to. We would also LOVE to see some comments from you guys, too (you know ALL of this will go in a scrapbook!).
So, welcome to the blog...come back often! :)
Love,
Becki and Travis

Becki,
You were made to be a mother. I'm glad that God saw the opportunity to bless a young life through you and Travis.
I am sorry that I was unable to make it to your shower, but you all have been in my thoughts and in my prayers.
Little Tanner has been truly blessed to have such a good and loving set of parents. Cherish every moment that you spend with that little man, they grow up way too soon.
May God bless you in your travels and I will be praying for a safe return home for you and your new family.
Love,
Christy Lawless
Prepare yourselves for the most exhilarating ride of your lives. There will be many blind twists and turns and at the same time your vision will have never been clearer. Triumph will surpass catastrophe. Measures of both will change daily. First cold (catastrophe), first word (triumph), first bad word (catastrophe)…Every parent’s story is the same and every parent’s story is unique. Yours will be a masterpiece…no doubt. I am looking forward to witnessing the process and have confidence the result will be no less than the addition of a wonderful man to the community, a valuable treasure. Thank you for sharing your happiness! The Watts Family
