Kristyn: Hello. I'm Kristyn. Life is full, isn't it? Michael and I have been married for seven years. We adopted Tegegne in January of 2010 when he was two. We had Hensley in February of 2011. Fields Benjamin made us a family of 5 on September 13 of this year. I love blogging about family life, writing letters to our kids, and much more!
