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!

Monday morning update

Things are definitely back to - um......uh......dare I say....NORMAL - in our house, or at least, back to the way they usually are. Knock on wood, but everyone is currently healthy for the first time in memory!

We have some more pictures of the latest pasttime in our house...couch-jumping. The kids line a bunch of toys on the couch, then jump until they all fly off. I don't quite understand it, but the kids think it's great!










This was coincidental, but look how they are all lined by age:



Mariah is feeling better and roaming about on her "bike." She doesn't quite have the knack of forwards vs. backwards yet!


The kids did some reading over the weekend. Caleb "reads" his favorite book (A Mother for Choco) all the time...he says "Mommy mommy mommy" on each page. It's cute!


I thought this was cool - look how their heads are at the exact same angle:


Okay, so Mariah is probably chewing more than reading, but it's a start!



Meghan still loves the camera:


"Okay, enough of the pictures!"
