A Peakin To Our Lives

Zweiback Toast

After our fun filled day outside, Tate got to eat some Zweiback Toast for the first time. He LOVED it! He didn't completely understand it at first...he thought it was a toy, but as soon as he put it in his mouth the first time, he barely took it out. It is so messy and got soggy really quickly, so I had to watch him carefully so he didn't get big chunks in his mouth that he could choke on. When it was all soggy and I was nervous that he was going to shove the whole peice in his mouth and choke, I took it away...as you can see in the last picture, he told me what he thought about that! He was yelling at me for taking it away...he wanted it back and NOW!"What is this thing?!"


"MMMMMMMMM...whatever it is, I LIKE IT!!!"


"Mommy, give that back to me RIGHT NOW!"

About Me

Jennie Peakin
I have been married to my wonderful husband, Sean since 2004 and welcomed our amazing son Tate into our family through the blessing of adoption in 2006. We then added two more incredible boys, Wesley and Cason to our family through the blessing of adoption in October 2012. My life as a wife and mother is a challenging one, but the one I've always dreamed of.

Our 3 Blessings from God

Our 3 Blessings from God
We struggled to start a family until God opened our eyes to the blessing of adoption. We have been blessed with 3 boys who grew in my heart!

Tate Kenneth (8)

Tate Kenneth (8)
Our little Tater Tot is our first child. Adopted at birth, he changed our world and lives in more ways than we could have dreamed. He is so smart and makes us laugh every day! Timid and sensitive while also a little wild and crazy sometimes, he is the best of both worlds! He is passionate, competitive and sensitive. He makes us so proud every day. He loves his brothers and we are so proud of the big brother they have to look up to.

Wesley Xander (5)

Wesley Xander (5)
Our middle boy, Wesley brings constant energy to our family! He loves fully and has a personality like no other child we've ever met. He has gone through more in his short life than many will go through in entire lifetime, but you would never know. Strong and willful, loving and curious...gorgeous beyond words! Wesley is not one that people forget, he won't let you. He keeps us busy and we love that we get to be his mommy and daddy forever!

Cason Stewart (3)

Cason Stewart (3)
Our baby. Cason is the happiest, sweetest little boy alive. He has a way of making any person who comes in contact with him, fall completely head over heels in love. He is snuggly and sensitive. He had our hearts from the moment we laid eyes on him when he was 11 months old. We knew he was going to bless our lives and change our world in ways we had never dreamed before meeting him. He suffered a lot in his first year of life and we get to spend the rest of our lives making up for what he had to endure. A blessing beyond words.
