About Us

About Us
Glenn and I have been married for ten spectacular years. We recently moved to Saudi Arabia, which is obviously very far away from both of our families. We keep this blog updated so we can stay close to our friends and fam and to keep a record of our family adventures. Glenn is enjoying his new job and I am loving being a stay-at-home mom. We have two sweet little boys, Tate and Finn and two darling twin baby girls, Taryn and Kenna. We love them to pieces. We also love date nights, good movies, good food, and being with each other.

Picture Tuesday, 16 weeks old

Our sweet ladies met their Nana and Grampa this week and have had so much fun being snuggled and spoiled by them.  Nana and Grampa arrived at 1:30 am Friday morning and we left for fellowship at 8 so it was a very fast turn around but we are SO glad that they made it for the little girlies blessing day.  It was such perfect timing.  The girls looked beautiful in their gorgeous dresses made by their Nana, and their blessings were so sweet and very individual.  Both girls behaved very well and just stared at their Daddy while he was giving them their blessings.  Kenna's blessing was first and my favorite specifics were that she has been blessed with great strength physically and mentally.  That she has great ability to be compassionate to siblings and others and a keen intellect that will be a great tool in her life.  Taryn's was sweet too and said that her happy demeanor and smiles are important and that she has been blessed with healing power that will enrich the lives of many many people and that she will have the strength to fight any infection and that her body will grow just as it should.  Both blessings also talked about the importance of relationships with their siblings and that they will know how loved they are by their family.  Their blessings were so sweet and specific for our individual girls and it was just perfect.  
It was a very windy day so we didn't get to take pictures outside but we did snap a few quick ones inside the building and a few more at home.  


 I guess we are now in the phase of not being able to get any pictures with all of our children making normal facial expressions.  So be it.  These faces are pretty fun too.


Kenna and Taryn have been very spoiled this week by Nana and Grampa.  It's been wonderful having two more sets of hands to help play with Finn while I'm changing babies or taking a shower or to hold crying babies while I'm doing ironing, folding laundry or prepping dinner.  They're going to be so mad at me next week when I'm the only one around all day and they have to cry once in a while for a few minutes before I can finish what I'm doing and get to them.  In the meantime, however, we're all loving having the extra love to go around.  Grampa has even been waking up at around 4 when the girls wake up to eat and he feeds one a bottle so Glenn or I can go back to sleep.  It's the best.  

Here they are, Kenna and Taryn, 16 weeks old at the pool today.  They weren't in the most smiley of moods at the exact moment that was most convenient for me to take their pictures, but we do what we can!  We sure love our sweet babies.
