  • Nick's birthday was Wednesday, so we celebrated by renting e-bikes and riding around Mammoth! I'm glad I failed to get him a present, because now I can get him one of these for himself (and one for me too 😜) Happy Birthday @nkinnier ! 😘 #silasfranklin #junia_jebrianne

  • Spent the last four nights camping with this crew and couldn't have had more fun! It was some much needed time away from work and responsibilities and even cell phone service. We're easing our way back into civilization now and spending the next few days with Nick's parents before we head home. Lots more pictures from our trip to come, because these kids are rockstars and made this my favorite camping trip yet! #silasfranklin #junia_jebrianne

  • My whole life I have been blessed with incredible abundance in the dad category. I'm married to the best, and I was raised by the best. I know that isn't everyone's story, and I don't take for granted what I have. My kids are loved beyond words by their dad, who fights for them daily and makes them his number one priority. My dad did and does the same for me and all his kids and grandkids. My kids have the two best grandpas in the world. We loved getting to celebrate our favorite men yesterday, and I'm eternally grateful to have them. #fathersday #silasfranklin #junia_jebrianne

  • Yesterday morning, Silas woke up and excitedly announced that it was Mother's Day. I asked him what that meant and he said it meant all the mothers were coming over to the beach house we've been staying at. I asked him who all the mothers are, and he proceeded to list all the people in this photo (and a few others). Some of the women in this photo do not have kids of their own, but Silas's list of mothers could not be more true. I have the deepest gratitude for these women who bring so much life and light to my children's lives and to mine. I couldn't do this mothering thing without them and many others who are mothering my kids alongside me. #mothersday #ittakesavillage

  • I fought like hell for this. For these moments. For these kisses from these two little souls who call me mama. I didn't care about being celebrated or thanked today. I think this day takes on a whole new perspective for those of us who scratch and claw our way into motherhood. I found myself thanking my babies over and over again today for giving me this gift of motherhood. I knew I wanted it, I just didn't know it was this dang good. It was worth every brutal blow along the way to finding them. Happy Mother's Day to all, especially those who are still battling their way to their babies. #mothersday

  • It's been so much fun to watch Silas learn about and play t-ball this season ⚾️ He spent pretty much the entire first game playing in the dirt, not paying attention to anything that was going on around him. I had to run the bases with him and lots of times bribe him with candy to get him to run to the next base. Then he'd just sit down on the base and play with the dirt some more until he was offered the next piece of candy to run to the next base again. I thought there was no hope to getting him into baseball. Fast forward to today, and he is still definitely playing in the dirt A LOT, he still loses interest quickly, and he still is often times in his own little world. But, he also can hit the ball hard from the tee, AND he has surprised us all that he's been able to hit the ball every at bat where the ball is pitched to him instead of using the tee. There is no longer any coaxing required to get him to run to each base. He loves running after the ball when it's hit towards him in the field, has no idea what to do with it once he picks it up, but eventually throws it somewhere. I don't care if he's good or terrible or if he loves or hates the sport. I'm just so proud to call him mine. And I actually think he's going to be really good at sports....just not sure he's going to love them 🤷🏻‍♀️ #silasfranklin #littleleague #tball #tballmom

  • The other day, Silas laid all of Junia's stuffed animals out around him and proudly announced that he was adopting all of them 😭😭 The topic of adoption is a regular part of our everyday conversations, and I love that I get to have these talks with my kids and listen as they process all that adoption means. Even though we talk about it all the time, I never feel 100% adequate in my ability to help my kids navigate all that there is to process. I am thankful for people who put a great deal of time and effort into creating books and products that help us adoptive mamas find natural ways to talk to our kids about all things adoption related. @slumberkins is one of those companies, and we are excited to partner with them as they launch their new Hartley bundle! Hartley is the softest, most cuddly sloth ever, and he comes with a book all about heart families. With May being #fostercareawareness month, @slumberkins has partnered with @allianceofmoms. With every purchase of a Hartley bundle, a portion of the proceeds will go to help the @allianceofmoms in their mission to break the intergenerational cycle of babies born to teens in foster care. Foster care has not been part of our story YET, but it is near and dear to our heart, and we love that this Hartley bundle is being used to help kids in the foster system!#slumberkins #allianceofmoms #fostercareawareness #heartfamily #slumberkinsonamission #cuddlycreatureswithintention #silasfranklin #junia_jebrianne

She is fearless, affectionate, determined, opinionated, and as sassy as they come. She is everything I ever wanted in a daughter and more. This girl can and will do whatever she sets her mind to. I'm just so thankful I get to be her number one cheerleader as she figures out all that that is. Happy birthday June girl! We love you beyond words!! #junia_jebrianne

  • ✨37✨As of yesterday, I have officially entered my late thirties. My thirties started out rough, but they're shaping up to end as my best years yet. I haven't always been happy about birthdays in this decade of my life, but this one feels pretty dang good. I like where my life's at, and I love the people I get to do it with. They keep me young, which makes getting old kind of sweet, wrinkles and all. 💫

  • If you knew me anytime when I was in junior high or high school, you know that I was a crazy Atlanta Braves fan. I could tell you a lot that would verify the crazy part, but I'll spare you the scary details. By far my favorite player was Javy Lopez, who I was just slightly obsessed with (again sparing you the scary details 😬). So you can imagine my utter shock when 20 years later, I see him pull into the t-ball field parking lot after Silas's game a few weeks ago and hop out of the car with his own t-ball playing son. It's cracking me up that after all these years, we live in the same place and have kids the same age. Yesterday, our kids' teams played each other, so a picture had to happen. You can also swipe to see us 20 years ago 🤣. I showed him that picture, and he took a picture of it too 😝. The full day's events are in my stories if you really do want to hear some of the scary details. #atlantabraves #bffs

  • Our church did a prayer walk through our city tonight. We carried small rocks with crosses on them to remember Christ's suffering as he walked towards his death. We stopped at various places along our walk to read the story of Good Friday and to pray. Driving home, I was getting emotional as Nick and I were talking about how special it was to see such a big group of our church family come together to do something so communal. Families, college students, single people, couples of all kinds, people of all different races and economic backgrounds all walked and prayed together. The most unlikely of people walking together as family. Nick said it perfectly when we left....it felt like Jesus ➕It was a Good Friday. #easter #goodfriday #churchisfamily #silasfranklin

  • Here's the reality. Infertility is still hard, but for very different reasons than it used to be. It is not hard because I still want to get pregnant. I can honestly say that I don't. The honest truth is that I am overwhelmed every single day with joy and amazement at the life I get to live and the family I get to have. Adoption was always part of our plan, but I have infertility to thank for the specific family I have now. Not getting pregnant was our miracle. ❤️ I wrote a bit about what infertility is like for me 7 years later. I've been sitting on this post for several months, wanting to get it perfect. This is just a tiny piece of it, and I'd love for you to read the rest. It's a huge piece of my heart. Link in my profile. #infertilitydoesntalwayssuck
