I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption.

I’ve always hoped one of my kids would lose their two front teeth at the same time. I don’t know why, but I’ve always thought it would be a fun thing to experience. Well, Sunshine turned that hope into a reality with the most recent wiggly tooth getting wiggled out! And at Christmas time. What...
November is a big month for this little guy! Not only did he celebrate his sixth birthday on November 4th, we also celebrated three years as a forever family with him today! I am so incredibly thankful for this boy, and I simply cannot imagine our family without our sweet Dumpling! He brings so much...
We kind of dropped the ball on all of the fall activities this year. When I write drop the ball, that translates to: we didn’t do anything at all. Between homeschool, lots (and lots and lots) of doctor/therapy appointments, and the home renovation projects, the entire season was here and gone before we knew it. ...
