After a storm, fair weather; after sorrow, joy.

One computer programmer + one counseling psychologist = two happily in love introverts navigating their way through some unexpected family planning and expansion tumult.

Through our years together, Matt and I have learned not to get too attached to the blissfully dull moments of married life.

Following four miscarriages, numerous failed assisted conception attempts, one international adoption from Ekaterinburg Russia, one baby conceived via a finally successful IVF/ICSI cycle and twins conceived via a follow-up FET; we now find ourselves in the incredible position of parenting our four children: Nicholas, Luke, Anna & Nathan.

Co-parenting has been, by far, our hardest-earned gig together and we are immensely grateful to be chronicling our adventures as a family of six.

Six!

Welcome!

I did not plant you, true.
But when the season is done,
when the alternative prayers for sun and for rain are counted,
when the pain of weeding аnd the pride of watching are through,
then I will hold you high,
a shining sheaf above the thousand seeds grown wild.
Not my planting,
but, by Heaven,
My harvest - My child.

--Carol Lynn Pearson
