Why we liked it-
no traffic on I-77 the whole trip from SC to OH
listening to our own choice of music and talks
no squealing from child #2
getting to watch my adorable children sleep
drinking fully loaded coffee at 10pm
we actually got to see the sunrise
snacking like a college kid all night long
chili lime plantains- fiesta in your [...]

boys being boys and a very large dog
I thought I would share these photos from the past week. On Saturday, we went to a craft fair exhibit. The vendors were actually spread out all over a baseball field. I couldn’t resist these handmade wooden cars for the boys. Deacon and Owen immediately placed them on the ground to roll them around. They’ve [...]

So, I’m really getting into sewing these days
I’m realizing that downtime is more fun if you have a needle and thread nearby. Right now I have a little purse that I just made that needs a couple little stitches sitting right next to me. I’m so thankful for websites like PurlBee, MadeByRae, and Threadbanger that offer fool proof tutorials and patterns (mostly for free) [...]

Handmade Church Clothes
This was so exciting for me. Matching but not overly matchy-matchy clothes to wear on Easter Sunday for the boys.
Of Course there’s no pictures of them both looking at the camera and smiling, but that’s life. This photo-shoot was actually the pre-easter trial run anyway. I wanted to make sure they fit right. Owen’s is [...]

“Mommy, I need to sing at the computer now”

As I look out the window
The boys have spent the majority of the day outside. Currently, Deacon is blowing bubbles and Owen has taken a seat on the driveway examining a collection of leaves and blades of grass. It’s days like this that I’m so glad to be a stay-at-home mom. What a blessing it is to [...]

Despite my best intentions
to blog often enough to get a bit if inertia on this blog, I’ve been quite busy caring for and cleaning up after sick children this week. I’m exhausted and praying that I will not catch the bug.
Andy left my camera in Columbia, so the new blogs won’t have my pictures, but I have [...]

now you are three
Yesterday, we celebrated your special day with pizza, noise makers and delicious cake.
You used to be frightened so easily, but you are becoming braver each day.
You love to sit on the toilet every morning and watch papa shave.
You love to make your brother laugh and teach him various animal sounds.
You remember Proverbs 20:11 and say, [...]
