"Beans beans, the magical fruit...the more you eat, the more you toot"

Hey everyone and welcome to our site. Here you'll find the chronicles of a silly, goofy, (and sometimes disturbing) family of 4. We're a crazy bunch, but we love to have fun oftentimes act the age of the children we are raising. Though we do have our serious moments in parenting, we believe in living life to the fullest and making each day a new adventure.

A brief history on us.

Matt and Amy met in August 2000 in the wonderful land of Ohio. After an exciting 3 years of dating, college, homework, traveling, paying bills, and engagement, they were married in May 2003. After the next 3 years of cleaning, newlywedding, more college, cooking, and paying more bills despite a full time salary, in June 2006 Claire, their first born daughter, decided to join on the fun. 11 days after Claire's birth, they moved to the Philadelphia area due to a new job opportunity where they would learn about the wonderful world of child rearing, more cleaning, more cooking, even more bills, less sleep, and less time. That is until May of 2007...where child #2 made themselves known through the mystical process of peeing on a stick. In January 2008 they found out that child #2 was actually a boy named Zachary and was ready to be a lil brother and son...which brings us to today.

The main purpose of this site is to stay in contact with the friends and family we moved away from when Matt took on the new job in Philadelphia. While we expect most who visit us will be friends and family we know, we are open to meeting some new ones in the process. So if you like what you've read and want to see and hear more about our crazy adventures via photography, feel free to say hi! We may be a tad goofy, but we're always upfront, honest, and looking for good friends and stimulating conversation.

One more thing, this is a collective account between Amy and myself. I handle a lot of the family photography while Amy goes out and gets all artsy fartsy :). In all seriousness photography is a big interest for both of us so please feel free to indulge in these pictures and comment to your hearts content. So if you send us a message, both of us will get it...eventually.

So, without further ado, roll that beautiful bean footage...
