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!

Amazing Website for you to Look At

The wonders of the Internet. Here is a website that is run by an American family who live in Sayaxché, Petén, where Caleb is from. http://www.guatemalaoasis.com/index.htm Please take time to look at a couple of links that we're highlighting:
  1. Pictures of Sayaxché: http://www.guatemalaoasis.com/sayaxche.htm
  2. Pictures of the school: http://www.guatemalaoasis.com/schools.htm
  3. First-hand insight about what happened in July. We now understand completely why the Sayaxché leaders are refusing to release any documents related to adoption...they are in fear for their lives after what happened. WARNING - some of the pictures are graphic. http://www.guatemalaoasis.com/july_2007.htm

Please keep the families of Sayaxché, Petén in your prayers. The poverty, the fear for the children, and the lack of resources is truly unbelievable.

It must be tough waiting for your birth certificate. I hope things improve soon. I was explaining the birth certificate problem on my blog and I added a link from my blog to yours. I hope that is okay.
