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!

WE ARE OUT!!! Caleb is coming home!!!!!!

Our case has been approved by PGN! In other words, we've been given the OK by the Guatemalan goverment. Caleb will be coming home soon!

There is still more to be done, including the following:

1. Birthmother has to relinquish her rights for the fourth and final time.
2. A new birth certificate and passport has to be issued.
3. DNA testing has to be done (which takes about 2 weeks) to ensure that there wasn't a baby swap done after the 1st DNA test was done. We're not too worried about this!!!!
4. We have to have an appointment scheduled with the US Embassy.

THEN WE FLY DOWN TO GUATEMALA, PICK UP CALEB, AND BRING HIM HOME FOREVER!!!!!!!
