ZaCarrie Kids Central: Long Overdue Update

It has clearly been a long time since we updated this blog. Interestingly enough our last post was about a month before we flew to Ethiopia to pick up a little sister for our boys! Adjusting to a 1 year old girl definitely had its challenges, but we finally feel like our family is complete!
Yemma has been home for just over a year now, and while we won't pretend like everything is perfect, we can easily say that these three kids are great friends, and we are a happy family. They play together all the time. There is only 21 months of age difference between the three of them, but we've been blessed with very intelligent, very good kids, and we love them so much.
Pictures from my phone aren't the greatest, but here are some pictures from the last while, some from trips and some close to home. Enjoy!

All three of our kids seem to enjoy music in a variety of ways.

Caleb had a serious asthma attack last year and spent a couple days in the PICU. Later, in the first of many "one-on-ones" I took Caleb to the fire station to visit with paramedics we rode with in the ambulance.
