Life at the Clootens










In Madison at last! We lived with our friends Matt and Allison Clooten, along with their adorable girls Madison and Ruby (age 6 mo at that point) the whole month of June. Are you already getting the picture of what amazing people they are, taking in our chaotic family for an entire month!

It was a huge blessing to be able to live together for so long. Allison and I got to tackle lots of projects (she's speaks my love language :)) in the midst of caring for 6 children age 7 and under, stay up late talking, watch movies, geek out on Apple products, do art projects, fly chalk dragons in their driveway, Craigslist shop, fill up their garage with our home purchases, build huge lego ships, see their girls sit up on their own (my kids loved being the helper "big kids"), and further solidify our friendship as "family".

We love you Clootens! Thanks so much for your hospitality and friendship!
