Our New Addition

OK, it's official. The TyJill Curtis' now have a blog! Now that there is such a cute reason for frequent updates, we want to keep Grandma Robyn busy by adding another stop to her daily blog-tour. So, here's that reason:

After years of trying to start our family ourselves and then medically, we started the adoption process. Before we knew it, we had adopted a little baby boy! He was born on July 29th, we met him the next day, and we picked him up for good yesterday, July 31st. It’s been a crazy few weeks getting ready and very intense waiting for everything to happen, but it’s all done!

His name is Jackson Tyler Curtis, he was 6 lbs 14oz and 19.5 inches (not really sure what all this means, but everyone asks). As you can see, he has wonderful dark hair and a dark complexion. He is terribly calm and patient. He rarely cries, he just fusses a bit (although Uncle Lynn taught him and he's getting practice). A definite keeper.

Oh yeah, in case you haven’t heard, Jill is expecting a little girl this December (and yes, she’s mine!)!!! Talk about miracles, huh?!

Thanks to everyone for all your gifts, calls, visits, emails, texts and other signs of your love for us and our new little buddy, we love you all. Your love for us and Jackson is overwhelming.


Love to all,



Ty, Jill, Jackson, Shadow & (Brooke)

Meeting Jackson for the first time (we got an hour with him at the hospital)!

Small, dark and handsome


Bringing home baby - now what do we do?
