About Us


We are the Isom Family. Jeff and Linda have been happily married for nearly 17 years. Jacob came along in 2002 and has been pure joy in our lives. 5 laparscopic surgeries, 2 miscarriages, and 7 years of infertility led us to adopt our (then) three and half year old twins from Ghana, Africa. Their adoption was a 2 and a half year process. Our girls were brought home by their amazing Daddy on May 7, 2012.

28 days later our second biological son , a true miracle we never thought we'd have, Noah was born via c-section. In my view it was a blessing from above because we adopted two orphans, and we doubled our family in 28 days.

We have 4 miracle children. Each child in our home has a truly miraculous story on how they came to our family. The odds were stacked against all four in different ways. Faith, prayers, hope, grace and perseverance are the reason they are all finally with us. Our family is complete.

This blog is a history of our daily adventures, my musings, and a few tips on food and organizing here and there. But most of all this blog is about LOVE. Because love is a CHOICE. Biology has nothing to do with being a loving family.

We choose JOY.
