Yesterday we celebrated. We baked. We frosted. We decorated. We ate. And we missed Vivi terribly. Happy 2nd Birthday, Vivi Kate!
all hallows eve. eve.
‘Round these parts, they celebrate Halloween the night before Halloween. And I’m cool with that, because I don’t really like Halloween anyway. And it shows. My sweet baby Shepherd. Wearing the same darn thing he wore last year. Because he can. Jude posing as a pseudo-pirate. He acquiesced to my bribe request to wear the patch and hat. But only… Read More
a walk in the woods
The leaves are changing so quickly here, and the array of colors is positively breathtaking. Chris and I are purposefully taking time to get out with the kiddos and enjoy the changing season before we freeze our butts off winter descends upon us. Last weekend as we were driving home, we ran across a beautiful state park. We decided to… Read More

Sometimes I get really tired of dragging my big, bulky camera along on family excursions. Then I remind myself, if I don’t carry along my camera, all our joyful outings might go undocumented. But the lazy side of me retorts, to haul around my (decidedly breakable) Nikon is sometimes so. not. worth. the effort. But today it absolutely, completely, was…. Read More

It didn’t work, by the way. So big, I had to wear lots and lots of rubbery undergarments. The kind that are… Read More

official family photo
I spent a good bit of the month of July taking pictures: pictures of my kiddos, pictures of our time on the road, the places we went, the people we saw. But secretly, I longed to get a family picture, a really good family picture, to represent our summer together. It didn’t happen. But I did get a picture I… Read More
botany bay
One day we ventured off our little stretch of beach to a local area known for it’s beautiful shells. It was a bit of a hike. We made sure to arrive at low tide, to see all the most recent waves had washed ashore. Pails ready for our, as yet, undiscovered treasures. Turned out that there were no sand dollars,… Read More

best friends and barbeque
A pictorial of our outrageous dining experience at a Nashville bbq joint called Jim and Nick’s:I left out the pictures of the ribs, because well, I’m just thoughtful that way. In our short time together, we managed a lot of talking, and even more laughing. And even more eating. According to my husband, bbq is serious business. But for us… Read More
