Another day in the mountains. Another day to bring along the camera. We ventured to a local lake, that is surrounded by a beautiful hiking trail. As we made our way around the lake, I stopped to take pictures of things that struck my fancy. After all, it was my birthday and all. If I can’t jump on a jet… Read More

on the road to nashville
I admit it. I was bored. In fact, I was so bored, I pulled my camera out and started snapping pictures. Since I was following, I didn’t have to look out for road signs and the trip was almost all highway, so it made this level of multi-tasking possible. The drive took a total of 14 hours. It was supposed… Read More
Calling all you crafty boogers
Geesh. Is it Halloween already? Clearly, I am ill-prepared, or I would be greedily anticipating the boatload of candy that will soon descend upon our household. Currently I have three Halloween costumes ready to go. And I need six. And of the three that I have, two of them were purchased at Old Navy, weeks ago on sale, in anticipation… Read More
missing my girl
On Saturday I drove up to Atlanta to spend the day with my girl. Well, my biggest girl. She had invited me up to see a musical that was playing at her school on Saturday night and I decided to go up early so we could have lunch and shop a bit before the show. We had the best time… Read More
The beach
Went to the beach over the weekend. Since Chris is down in Florida for work, we decided to pay him a visit. Unfortunately all the wildfires had left quite a bit of smoke in the air, but it was still a beautiful day, even without the sun shining. It was the first trip to the ocean for Sophie and Isabelle,… Read More
Go Yellow Jackets!
Tori has always been a ‘good kid’. But when she came home with a report card in middle school that had A’s and B’s on it, Chris and I were not impressed. We insisted that we knew she could do better, in fact we were certain she could make straight As. Our lack of enthusiasm over her lukewarm report card… Read More
a marshmallow-y good time
My mom came down to spend part of the weekend since the kids had a holiday on Monday. The kids were in rare form, the weather was perfect and everyone was on a sugar induced high. We spent a good bit of the day outside and when evening fell we started up the mini fire pit and cracked open the… Read More
A Very Merry Christmas
Whew! All the preparing and planning we’ve done for the last few months paid off in spades on Christmas morning. It was so precious watching the kids open their gifts, ripping off the paper and realizing that Santa had come through for them again this year. We spent Christmas Eve at an evening church service and then came home and… Read More
Gingerbread Houses: Take Two
My mom, sister and her kids came down on Friday to spend the night. Four years ago, we all got together and let the kids make gingerbread houses out of graham crackers, icing and various candies. We decided to do it again this year, except this time there were three new participants. Very willing participants, I must say. Tori helped… Read More
