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
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
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

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
Making a gingerbread house… the easy way
Over the weekend the kids went to a local shop to make a gingerbread house. No messy ingredients, no rolling the dough, no assembling the house. None of the real ‘work’ was involved. The house was basically made, all they needed to do was the fun stuff: decorate. The kids did an awesome job and now we have a beautiful… Read More
The Zoo!
November is National Adoption Month. In honor of this, the Atlanta Zoo was open last Saturday to any and all adoptive families, free of charge, as long as you had a printed invitation from your agency. Needless to say, with a family this size, we jumped on that offer like a dog on a t-bone. It was a chilly day… Read More
Halloween
Halloween was so much fun! To be honest, I love the preparations for Halloween, buying candy, deciding what the kids are going to wear, the fact that Halloween sort of heralds in the holiday season. But I am not crazy about Halloween itself. It hasn’t helped that the last 2 years Chris has been gone. And it has rained. And… Read More
