Henry’s Big Day
Wasn’t it just about five minutes ago that I carried sweet Prince Henry in a wrap snuggled up against me? In fact, this is how I carried him into Sam’s preschool each week, and how I carried him just about everywhere. But somehow, without me even realizing it, Henry has grown up a bit. Just...
Running away from home
We ran away from home this past weekend. If you recall past posts, I’ve talked about how we endeavor to escape from reality every so often to recharge our batteries. It was another idyllic weekend spent escaping the to-do list. Here’s a summary of our weekend, in the form of Facebook status updates (that I...
Freckle Faces
Look at all of these adorable little freckle-faced children of mine… and a future freckle-face, I’m sure…. they come by their freckles honestly, that’s for sure….
{this moment} ….or perhaps a few today
Inspired by SouleMama: A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see....
The Last Friday of Summer Vacation…
This summer flew by too quickly, but I think despite that fact and the fact that it was a busier than usual summer, we still managed to squeeze in quite a bit of fun! To go out with a bang we spent our final Friday of summer vacation having quite a bit of fun…exploring &...
Jumpstart ~ Sam Style
I just dropped Sam off at school for Kindergarten Jumpstart. It’s a two day introduction to Kindergarten, just to get the kids used to things and comfortable before school starts for everyone next week. I don’t think Jumpstart is just for the kids though…it’s definitely for the parents. We have to get used to things...

Running Errands with Sir Henry
Yesterday Henry insisted on wearing his helmet EVERYWHERE. And sometimes I know better than to argue with a 2 year old…I pick my battles, and this was not one of them. Plus it was kind of cute. An entire group of employees from the nail salon at Kenwood Mall stopped to stare at him. The...
Our Evening Walks
We have been squeezing in a lot of evening walks this summer, on those rare evenings that the temps are not hovering near 100. I usually take at least one or two of the kids with me. Max often chooses to stay home and have some “Daddy Time” but Ella loves to go with me...
GOBama Go!
A little bit of excitement for our Monday morning…President Obama was rolling through town to go to an event downtown. We had a great view of the motorcade from our house, and the boys were so excited! Side note: I love my new zoom lens!
Archiving Family History
Recently I did a little archiving of family history. I’m a bit of a pack rat. I don’t deny this. I’m a collector, a keeper, a saver, and I’m destined to be one of those people who will grow old and when I die you will enter my house and find mazes consisting of old...
