The last time I wrote a long post here, we had been matched with a sibling group that we hoped to adopt. We were able to finalize in December 2011. Here's a photo taken just after we saw the judge.
Here's a picture of the whole crowd at Easter this year. I can't believe how much they've grown!
On the left is Grant (8), then Collin (2), Maya (13), Hannah (11), and Levi (9). I knew our lives would get a lot busier, but I had no idea just how wild this ride would be. My days are filled with kid schoolwork, toddler chasing, sports practices, shoe and jeans buying (seriously, how do they need new shoes and jeans every week?), and LAUNDRY. My nights are spent writing and doing my own homework. Exhausting as it is, I'm also incredibly happy. I always pictured us having a big family. Now that we do, I wouldn't want it any other way.
Collin will read you a bedtime story now.
Here are the photos before I edited them in Picasa. I changed the color settings on the first one and added a glow filter to the second.

Hello Heather.
I really enjoyed reading your post and seeing the pictures of your family.
I come from a family of five siblings as well, and let me tell you, it doesn't get any better than that. There is always something going one at the house. I am sure your kids will say the same thing some day.
Best wishes to you and your family.
