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!

Meghan loves art, can you tell?




Here is Caleb and McKenna, our neighbor. I don't think she's ready to have Caleb as a boyfriend, huh?

Okay, this is a little disgusting. It's bologna on their faces!

Happy Birthday!

Today is our neighbor's 2nd birthday. We are so fortunate to live in a subdivision with lots of young children...and many of our kids go to the same daycare as well. Mariah and Caleb's friend turns 2 today, so I videotaped a little "ditty" for her to enjoy.

(Mariah says nen-nah for McKenna)

Enjoy (and never mind my signing...)

Retail Therapy

Anyone who is the parent of a 3 year old boy would appreciate this shirt. It was one of those shirts that screamed "CALEB" as soon as I saw it.

How fitting that he was running around with Mariah's winter hat on when I took the picture! :)
