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!

Time for an Update!

I figured it is more than time for an update on the kids. Enjoy!!!


Jared has been reading a lot this summer. His goal is to finish all of the Harry Potter books by the end of the summer. Not too bad for an 8 year old, I think!


The copycats...

Meghan at t-ball. Such a silly girl!



I *almost* caught her pouting...
.
Yeah, Mariah is a bit of a rebel. Look how she's sitting on the steering wheel. It's a miracle the thing hasn't tipped backwards yet!

Just a few more freaky ear pictures:






(Don't forget to turn the music off on the side before watching!)
Before you watch this, I feel like I have some explaining to do! Mariah had a terrible heat rash and as a result, has been running around topless because she seems happier this way. When watching the video, you can faintly hear music from the Fisher Price house...that is what they are dancing to:
.
Finally, Caleb skipped his nap one day, and here was the result.
(I know, what kind of mother would videotape such a thing!)
