Ravenwood Overlook!

This was our first trip to April and Jeremy’s beautiful NC mountain house, and it was certainly a treat! From walking onto the back deck and hearing the creek…to riding on the windy roads in the mule…to seeing the stars so clearly at night…to watching an amazing fireworks show–it was […]

Visiting Charlie

We were away for Charlie’s birthday, so that gave us a good reason to head on up to his place with some birthday cheer. The kids always love driving through the city, and they had lots of fun awaiting them at Charlie’s place. They loved checking out the tank and […]

Staying cool

It’s always fun trying new parks over the summer, especially if it’s a spray park! The kids enjoyed this one (Virginia Highlands), and I enjoyed it because it felt manageable :). We ran into E’s friends Hallie and Rebecca, which made our little adventure even more fun.

Camp out

What do you do when your A/C is broken and it’s super hot in your house? Pitch a tent in the air conditioned garage! Laina and Elijah made memories in the garage (with Daddy) and Austin and I stayed inside with all of the fans. Turns out the reason our […]

Paws to Read

Laina reading to “Wonka” at the local library’s Paws to Read program. It’s every two weeks–she loves it! Since we don’t have a dog, this will have to do for now :).

Us.

I already know that this post won’t even come close to conveying my gratitude for us having crossed paths in life, but it only seems appropriate to write to you on our 10th anniversary since so much of our younger years we spent passing endless letters back and forth. I […]

…I don’t know who we’ll become in the days ahead, she said. I only know the quiet voice in my heart that says we’ll become it together… Happy 28 days of May to the love of my life. ♥

Last week for E!

We have lots of fun things going on at Elijah’s school this week since it’s his last week. He’s been lucky to have such wonderful teachers make some really sweet friends!

Round 2

Blueberries, turmeric, and kale/spinach mixture. Yep, we boiled all three..added a little vinegar and success! Well, full disclosure–we added green food coloring to the kale/spinach mixture because it just wasn’t cutting it. But overall, we had a fun time with our little science experiment in the kitchen, and the kids […]
