Greetings From The Michigan Rogers

Hey everyone, just wanted to send some family pictures. Thought everyone might want to know what Blake looks like with the family.




This is Blake trying on some of his new clothes for school.








This is Scott, Matthew and Blake standing in front of one of Michigan's many lighthouses on Lake Michigan. It was really cold that day but it was August.

This is Blake playing on the Harmonica that Matthew gave him. He reminds me of one of the blues brothers in this picture.





This was the Jeep tour we took in Silver Lake Michigan. It was tons of fun driving on the backroads of Michigan Wilderness. I am the one driving this Jeep. This was the top of a huge hill with very deep holes. It was quite a rush doing this.


This is the boys at the Toledo Ohio Zoo. The Teenager in the picture is Devon. He is Blake's Biological Uncle. He is also in our ward. Blake's birth mom wanted a family to adopt Blake who would keep Blake's Aunt who is 16 and Uncle who is 13 in Blake's life. Especially Devon who has a very special bond with Blake. When he knew his family was trying to get Joie(the birth mom) to let a family adopt Blake he went around to a few families in our ward who have adopted too, to see if they would adopt Blake. Devon did not know us very well at the time or knew we were adopting. He is very happy we have adopted Blake and he has grown to become a special person not only in Blake's life but our whole families. We enjoy Elyse too but do things more with Devon. Well thats it for now I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Man, it looks like you guys are having a lot of fun from your pictures. I didn't know much about Blake, so it was fun to see pictures and get to know more about him. I also look forward to meeting him in person some day soon.
