My life in California with my husband Craig and our sons Henry, Eddie, and Charlie.

My husband Craig and I live in amazingly beautiful Northern California with our three boys. We adopted our first child, Henry, after almost 5 years of trying to get and stay pregnant — including 4 miscarriages. Two days before we adopted him, we found out I was pregnant with the embryo who would later be known as Eddie. Henry and Eddie are only 8 months apart! 2 years later I got pregnant with Charlie, and the rest is (very messy, smelly, and loud) history. Yes, it's true, we have 3 boys who are less than 3 years apart.

Hello!

My name is "Grammy" and I have been maintaining a blog for my 19 month old grandson, The Booga Wooga, since he turned 6 months old (June 2006). I have spent the last few months adding his blog to directories and social sites such and this one. I am now following-up with adding friends, joining neighborhoods/communities, etc.

I enjoyed reviewing your blog and would like to invite you to visit The Booga Wooga!

Hope to see you soon...
