Welcome!

This blog began as we documented our adoption of our third child, Caleb. It is now an eclectic journal of our often amusing lifestyle with 4 young children.

We do try to "keep it simple" because our lives are obviously busy enough! We try to hold true to what we firmly believe is the most important: family, friends, and faith.

We hope you enjoy our everyday happenings!

Distressing news from our agency

We received a phone call from our agency today, followed up with an e-mail. The e-mail, forwarded from the attorney, stated this: "EL NIÑO EN LAS fotos se ve muy bien, sin embargo en su peso, solo aumento en dos onzas, LO CUAL PARA MI ES INAUDITO....Esta foster creo que finitivamente sera cambiada." For you non-Spanish speakers, it can roughly be translated as saying that although Caleb looks good in the pictures, he's only gained 2 ounces in the past month, which is unacceptable, and that they are going to change his foster mother. Caleb actually looks very, very sad and his eyes have dark circles under them. Since December, his weight has dropped from the 95th percentile to roughly the 45th percentile. Please keep Caleb in your thoughts. We cannot get him back with us soon enough! He obviously needs his mommy and daddy, brother and sister NOW!!!
