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!

Feliz cumpleaños, little guy!

July Update

Things have been going very well in our household...just extremely busy. It seems that nearly every evening has something going on, especially with Jared and his soccer and baseball. Here are some recent photos for you to enjoy!
Jared at the Brewers Game

What happens when a very tired Caleb doesn't get his nap!


This is what Jared teaches Caleb in the bathtub. What goofballs, huh?


I did Meghan's hair recently, and Caleb was SO jealous. So...he had to have "pretties" in his hair as well. Isn't he purty?


Here it is - Caleb's FAVORITE outfit. He is the BIGGEST Diego fan in the world right now. It is just hilarious...when he sees Diego, he shouts out "Diego Go Go Go".


The kids love getting their pictures taken with Mariah. Here are a few!



Sometimes shirts say it all. Here's a classic Caleb shirt!

Here is a good reason why 4 year olds shouldn't be allowed to dress themselves. Nice outfit, Meghan! (or not!)
Just Mariah looking cute (the scratches are from a fingernail I must have missed)




And finally, this is what happens with Keith plays with the kids. Yes, they are wearing shorts on their heads and socks on their hands. Obviously, the kids loved every second of it, but I think that someone is going to put us in the nuthouse for this one!
