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!

Early June Update

Things are going well in our household. We wanted to share some of recent activites for you!


Meghan recently had "graduation" at her daycare. They recognized all of the kids who are entering or exiting Pre-School. It was SO cute.

Here is Meghan in her cute graduation outfit:


And here is Meghan and her teacher, whom she adores:



Being the dorky mom that I am, I went out and bought matching outfits for the boys and the girls. Here is a picture of the boys. Caleb especially thinks it's so cool that he has the same shirt as Jared!
Not to be outdone - here are the girls. Keith scolded me for putting Mariah in this outfit...it makes her look WAY too old!!!
We recently brought out the exersaucer for Mariah to play in. WHAT A MISTAKE! If you look at the picture, you can kind of see that the 3 older kids were playing with all of the toys, while Mariah is in the middle, petrified, thinking "what on earth are they doing???" The exersaucer is now back in storage, until Mariah is a bit older and can stick up for herself!


I would be remiss if I didn't include another picture of Caleb and Mariah. He is the best big brother a person could ever ask for.


And finally - in honor of Father's Day, I thought I'd include a picture of Mariah wearing her new favorite shirt:


Coming soon....


Pictures of Jared, the baseball and soccer star
Caleb and his favorite Diego outfit
And more....

Have a great day!
