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!

I love seeing how these two have turned into such buds. Don't get me wrong - they still argue A LOT...but they also are inseparable.

Singing In the Rain...or not?

It was 70 degrees out, not a cloud in the sky, and here are the two goofballs...parading around the neighborhood!

Mariah likes to do anything that the "big kids" get to do. We let her color, and as you can tell, she enjoyed it completely!







And really, what's a family blog without a messy eating shot or two?

Clean Up, Everybody Clean Up!

Mariah has quite the fascination with keeping things clean. Hopefully this will continue when she is older so that she can keep up with the housework! If you listen carefully, you can her here say "go go go" as she is cleaning off the table. And when she is finished, she asks for more! :)

Halloween Fun!

Halloween was a lot of fun at our house this year. Here are a couple of pictures from the big event!


Modeling our Halloween T-shirts!

Mariah, the Queen Bee

Mariah has been sick with the croup and double ear infection, so she couldn't go trick-or-treating this year. By the time I got back from taking her to Urgent Care, it was time to go trick-or-treating, so if you look at some of the pictures below, you'll see that she's just wearing her winter jacket. Thankfully she's not old enough to know the difference, Daddy dressed her up after we left and she was happy as can bee!


The Big Three Trick-or-Treaters!
