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!

Feliz cumpleaños, Caleb!!!

On Monday, July 30th, Caleb will be one year old! It's so bittersweet that he's already one and not here with us to celebrate it. We cannot wait for the day for him to be ours forever.


We received our monthly update. As usual, his foster mom did a wonderful job picking out what clothes to have him wear. GO PACK GO! It's so cool that he's wearing the same Packers jersey that both his older brother and sister wore when they were younger.


We also learned that we entered PGN on July 6th. If everything goes perfect, then we should be out of PGN in September, and able to pick up Caleb sometime in October. If you're the praying type, please pray that we have no more delays in our case. We'll also take all of the fingercrossings, horseshoes, and whatever else works to get Caleb home SOON!
Have a great week,
Kris and Keith
