Amy Lemons Talking

Hi there!  Jared and Amy Lemons here.  We’ve been married for thirteen years now.  Sometimes we gaze into one another’s eyes in a really sweet embrace…

And other times we are hard-core rolling those eyes while juggling everyday life, jobs, two kids, a business, and all of those other things that fill up our schedules.

Speaking of two kids.  They are pretty stinkin’ awesome.  Israel is almost 6.  Joelle just turned 9.  They used to be sweet little toddlers.  Now they are growing and we just can’t make it stop.  Sigh.

They were both born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.  Joelle came home in February of 2013.  Israel came home in December of 2015.  We have a lot of our adoption journey documented on this little blog.

We aren’t pros at life, but we do like to share our family happenings and travel experiences.  We also share about our faith, how God is working in our lives, and how we see the beauty of His creation all around us.

So there you have it.  This is Life With the Lemons.

Oh, and a HUGE thank you to Becca at Jumpin Jax for our lovely site design.  And many thanks to Holly at C’s The Day Photography for the beautiful pictures.
