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!

A Cute Story

Our eldest is in 1st grade, and every year, the PTO has a "Santa Shop" where the kids can go shopping (with their parents' money!) to buy and wrap Christmas presents for family members. DS had his turn yesterday and came home with presents for everyone on his list - including HIMSELF. Um...that wasn't on the list! Additionally, he bought himself the most expensive gift possible. :) (Wait a second, I think that means he got me a cheaper present ha ha ha)

I think he was proudest of the gift he got for Caleb, though. He told me all about it, it is a white teddy bear. He wants to keep it under the tree until Caleb can come home and unwrap it. Our eldest adores Caleb. Our whole family does. DS wrote about him in school, and his story was all about how he is going to teach Caleb how to play tag AND even let him win (once!). THIS is the part that I wish the stupid politicians could see - how this pointless waiting is not benefitting anyone, anywhere.

We of course do not have any new news. The latest we heard was that our attorney was still waiting for results of the legal appeals he filed. We know this is going to take a lot of time, but it is still torture to have to wait.

Have a great day, everyone!

I loved this blog entry! I really admire your positive attitude. Caleb is really fortunate to have such a wonderful family waiting/fighting for him.

Children are so innocent...if only the politicians could see that. Fingers are still crossed that things will get resolved soon. You are always in our thoughts.
Love, Jeremy, Jen and the trips

Kris, DS is just darling. So sweet that he has so much love for Caleb. Warms your heart. It's tragic that Caleb isn't home with you during this special time of year. Know that he will be with you next year to give DS his own gift.

You are in my thoughts and prayers each day and appreciate all the support you offer so many other families.

God Bless, HappyKosmo
