• About:

    I swore I would never drive a minivan, so I went through a bit of an identity crisis when we finally broke down and bought one. But now I've decided to get over myself, and fully embrace my life as a suburban, minivan-driving, Mommy Blogger. Since my family rocks, and my family and the minivan are a package deal, I am hereby declaring that My Minivan Rocks!

    This blog is about so much more than my minivan; It's about the three beautiful kids who fill the carseats in my minivan. Christian and I were married in May 2003. After fertility treatments, our son Noah was born to us in January 2006. Our daughter Zoe was born in November 2006 in Phu Tho, Vietnam, and came home when she was four-months-old. Colin is our baby boy. He was born in July 2008 and came home when he was two-days-old through domestic adoption.

    We never planned to have our children THIS close together (we are probably the only people on the planet who can say they had two adoptions happen more quickly than expected), but we are enjoying our crazy new life!

Milking it

Noah has had a bad habit lately of pushing Zoe. Sometimes he pushes her out of the way, and sometimes he takes a toy from her and then pushes her. Either way we don’t like it and he gets in trouble when he does it.
Zoe has caught on and now she is milking it. Now [...]

The many meanings of "Hi"

“Hi” is Noah’s favorite word, so much so that it was Zoe’s first “real” word. She had been saying ma ma, da da, ba ba, etc. sort of randomly for a long time, but in September she started imitating her big brother and saying “Hi” in the proper context (like when you come in her [...]
