Christmas Eve Photo Shoot

So, confession: I haven’t done a family Christmas card since 2014. Eeek! Last year, we were on such a strict budget since every extra penny went to our adoption process that I couldn’t justify the cards expense, and this year, we had been home a hot minute when we would’ve been needing to take pictures,

October Recap/Photo Dump

Okay, better late than never…here is what we were up to in October! These beautiful friends hosted the CUTEST baby shower for our family! So grateful for them! We visited the Pumpkin Village at the Arboretum. This girl…she gives me laugh lines and gray hairs.  We received our first ever VIDEO of sweet Brooks at

10 on the 10th…Except it’s the 11th ;)

Okay, my faithful ten readers….I’m determined to get back into the blogging game. I’ve been, well, a big fat failure the last month or so, and my dad is disappointed that he’s no longer getting his daily email updates, so Dad, this one’s for you. 😉 Here are ten things for the 10th that have

Preschool Christmas Programs 2015

This totally cracked me up! And is oh so very true. This morning, we enjoyed Carter’s preschool Christmas program, and last week Kate had her miniature version of it, too. They were both too cute and funny not to share!  I’ll start with Kate…she looked so incredibly cute heading to school!  And then, she was

Weekend Wrap-Up: Fallelujah Edition!

At long last, it’s finally feels like FALL, y’all! It’s been a while since I did a weekend wrap-up, and although this weekend wasn’t super special, I took lots of pictures, so I figured why not do one now? Saturday morning, we bundled up in our hoodies because it was 60 GLORIOUS DEGREES outside and

Five Friday Favorites

Alas, my favorite day of the week. FRIDAY! TGIF!  (Sidenote: Why are the “short” weeks always really the longest?! This phenomenon still baffles me. Four days this week that felt like ten. Oy.) There’s been a lot going on around here lately, so I thought I’d take a quick second to share a few of

Sunday Morning Praises

1) On Saturday afternoon, our sales number on our t-shirt Booster went from 99 to 105. Triple digits, baby! We are THRILLED and humbled. Approaching $1800 raised and counting…and still 20 days to go before it closes! 2) Our amazing pastor, whose sermon on Nehemiah last winter was a major catalyst for us in this

Summer Goals

Preschool is officially over for both kids, the splash pads are open, and we have very little on the calendar (during the week at least) for the foreseeable future. That must mean one thing…summer is here! 🙂  This year absolutely FLEW by, and the kids have grown SO much I can hardly believe it. Although

Carter is FOUR!

I cannot believe my baby boy is FOUR!!!  We had a great weekend celebrating this big guy with family and friends. We started the morning with pancakes, headed off to church, and then came home for presents. He got his first bike and was PUMPED! It took him NO time to figure out how to

What’s Up Wednesday Link-Up

 Hey there! So, I am totally stealing the “What’s Up Wednesday” idea from the Mix & Match Family blog because I thought this would be a great opportunity to recap all that has been going on in our house this spring! 🙂 So, let’s go! What We’re Eating This Week… Our menu this was not
