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!

Recent pictures at home

I just wanted to share some pictures of recent events around here. Nothing earth-shattering...but still fun. Be sure to check out the video on the blog post below...I posted twice today (a record) so I didn't want you to miss any of it. HOPEFULLY Halloween fun will follow soon!


One of my best friends from college came to visit recently. Her eldest son is 4, her twins are just under 2. That meant that we had 7 kids combined, with 6 of the 7 4 and under. Her husband didn't make the trip, and Keith went to the Packer game to escape (ha ha). Here's what our living room looked like before long. YIKES!
Here is Meghan enjoying one of the last nice days of the year. We had snow flurries earlier this week, so I know that winter is on it's way.

And here's Caleb. He didn't want his picture taken, he wanted to go down the slide again!

Here is Jared and Grandpa (and that silly Nintendo DS)
Here's Mariah chewing on a good book. I hope she'll be a good reader someday!

And finally, Mariah, AKA Big Blue Eyes.

I wanted to save the last picture for last. Get a load of how Caleb sleeps. It's the same pose as what we have on the very top of the blog. He sits like this all the time - asleep or awake. He's done it for months and months and months. Funny, huh?

My son, Shay, sleeps EXACTLY the same way every night! It is so funny, isn't it. I have a quite a few pics sleeping too. Your family is beautiful. You've got your hands full with a lot of little ones. What a blessing.
