About Me

My name is Tracy and I am married to an amazing man, his name is Thomas! We are a busy family that is always on the go between church, school, work and sports.... we are not a sitting around kind of family. We have 4 amazing children and are working on bringing home Elias to make 5. My hubby is Deaf and I am a sign language interpreter,we are very involved in the Deaf community and are excited to be adding another Deaf member to our family. Our kids, Aaron-19, Luke-11, Tommy-10 and Paige-5 are anxious for their new brother to be home. This is our second adoption and we are learning more everyday to lean on God, this journey is already strengthening our faith! We are working on learning how to turn everything over to God and know that He has a perfect plan and all will happen in His time! Good things come to those who wait.

Some sign language videos of Luke to share!

I am uploading two recent videos I took of Luke. I am trying to document his signing progression. I did voice his signing so those who do not know sign language can watch too!

The first video is one of Luke signing some of his sight words. These are old sight words that he has not practiced in a long time but he knows them and he wanted to document them on video. We will do some newer words soon. He is signing so well and learning so fast that he is quite an impressive young man!




The next video is one of Luke and his 5 year old sister, Paige. Every night for at least a month now the two of them meet in either Paige's room or Luke's with me and they read stories to me and each other. Paige signs her story and then Luke signs his. It is so cute and precious to watch that I had to share. They are normally much more animated but they also knew mom was recording and I think it added some pressure and stress so they are not animated, but they are signing well. Luke's story is below his reading level now but I was trying to keep it short so that I could upload it. We will try a longer one later! Enjoy, I know I do!!! Plus I just love the special bond that Luke and Paige have, they are ALWAYS together and such amazing brother and sister together.


Hope you enjoy the videos and we will be posting more soon!!!
