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!

Parenting is SO Entertaining!!!




Ah yes...the joys of parenthood. Below are some recent pictures and stories that finally made it off of my camera. Enjoy!


For those of you with kids out there, you know that sometimes it's hard to get privacy. I forgot to lock the bathroom door one morning, and look what was waiting for me when I got out of the shower!



It's hard to tell, but Jared is holding his Nintendo DS, and fell asleep while playing his Pokemon game. Yes, he's sleeping with his head and knees resting on the couch!





Also another odd place to take a nap...Meghan fell sleep on the chair. How can this even be comfortable?






It's been a very cold spring this year. Here's Mariah getting bundled up for her walk.


Ah, yes, JEALOUSY! What Mariah has, Caleb wants.





Here's Mariah looking cute, as always!

Ah yes, Caleb decided to put his own toothpaste on his toothbrush this time. As you can see, he missed the brush and got his face, instead!

It's hard to see in the picture, but this is just another example of Caleb smearing something all over his face. I'm not even sure what it is!

Meghan decided that she wanted to pout. Trust me, we see this a lot. She's 4, going on 14!





Mariah really loves her brother, Jared. Yesterday, she started crying when he left the room. She just stares at him everytime he's around.

Sorry, I can't get the caption below the photo for this one. The kids really love their little sister! Next time, I'll include another one of Caleb and Mariah...he, too, just adores her!

I love those pictures they are pretty funny. How do kids sleep like that??

I can't believe how big Mariah is getting. Caleb and Sophia would get along really well. They both seem to like wearing food on their faces.
Did you see where Sophia riped the curtains right off the wall? The rod and everything that was immediately after she "helped" me plant flowers and then riped plants out of our garden.

We have some wild times ahead of us! Can you believe they have been home for 3 months now? Time flies when your house is being destroyed!!

Your (worn out but happy) sayaxche friend.
