We are a not-so-little family of SEVEN, learning about life through trial and error, stumbling successes, hard situations, and lightening shots of bliss.

We try to remember not to take ourselves too seriously and do our best to sit down to dinner together, wrestling our over-busy schedules into submission.

Our family values; the current of who we are as a unit and who we are as individuals are painted in metallic on our hallway wall.

Friendship.      Laughter.      Generosity.     Creativity.

These are the North, South, East, and West on our family compass; what we come back to when trying to remember what our family is about.

We are a Pragmatist, a Dreamer, and five kids from biology and foster-to-adoption collecting little moments into a full life while I write about it along the way.
