Life with Brian, Stacy, Claire, Jared, and Hailey. Thursday, July 23, 2015. Awful way to start the day, but my car still worked, so I drove to the doctors and made arrangements to take the car in a week later after my mom and brother left. I needed the van to fit everyone in one car while they were here. It still worked, so I saw no rush. Yes, dear children, nothing exciting for us.

Our little family has adventures each and every ordinary day. I begin this blog as a way to share our everyday triumphs and frustrations. I hope that I can express myself in a way that we can all learn from each other as we get to know each other better. Thursday, September 26, 2013. Busy, busy, busy.

Fill one large cardboard box. Anyone who opens it will be able to tell almost everything about you. Some of the people opening it know you well and some have never met you. Some will be opened soon and some many years down the road. What are you going to put into it? Dare to take the BOX CHALLENGE. List them here! Posted by Tamara-Story writer and photographer.

So much to be Thankful for. We are blessed to be a part of 2 incredible families that are imperfect, talented, very funny, kind, good to their core, dare I say quirky? And yes, all OURS!
