  • A Future Songwriter??

    A Future Songwriter??

    Greyden’s zone is the kitchen sink area. He is responsible for washing all the big dishes. Yep, all the pots and pans and everything (except the milk pails – Cole and Emery each have to do their own). He’s also responsible for loading and unloading the dishwasher. Which happens about twice a day at our…

  • It’s a Celebration!

    It’s a Celebration!

    Hooray! We were finally able to have   Fletcher’s Thumb Sucking Cessation Celebration!   He’s been trying to stop sucking his thumb for over a year, and he finally succeeded! We’re so proud of him. He got to choose his reward and he picked ice cream with hot fudge and colored sprinkles.  He chose black…

  • My New Camera

    My New Camera

    I got a new camera and was outside playing around with it. Jade was supposed to be inside cleaning up her zone, but her curiosity (what is mom doing??) got the better of her. So instead of taking pictures of my herbs, I took pictures of her:                …

  • King of the Ocean

    King of the Ocean

    Colter was the undisputed King of the Ocean this vacation. The kid basically lived in the water. The morning we had to leave was very windy.  It was the roughest the ocean had been our whole week.  Here’s a video of most of the children staying up close to the beach.  But if you look…

  • Queen of the Ocean

    Queen of the Ocean

    If Indigo is the princess of the ocean, then Brett is the Queen. She was just as much a fanatic with the water as Indigo: I loved watching the two of them enjoy it together: Brett waited so long to have a sister, and the two of them are really close.  Normally when they do…

  • Princess of the Ocean

    Princess of the Ocean

    Indigo absolutely fell in love with the ocean and riding waves:   I can just see her asking for a surfboard for her birthday! Of course, she is kind of lazy. She figured out that if she just hangs out in the shallows, eventually a wave will come and give her a ride without her…

  • Time for the Beach

    Time for the Beach

    It’s time for the beach!! First priority, suntan lotion: Once everyone is covered, it’s time to head to the ocean.  Here are a couple of shots of Colter enjoying the sand and sun: And then a shot of Colter not enjoying the sand in his face (which was his own fault for doing pushups on…

  • My Daughter

    My Daughter

    I was sitting on the couch taking a rest when Jade appeared. She climbed up next to me and grabbed my face in her hands. She looked me right in the eyes. Jade: “I am going to hide behind your back. And then you are going to say, ‘Where is my daughter?’. And then you…

  • Topsail Island

    Topsail Island

    We rented two houses on Topsail Island. One house held my parents, my brother and his family, and my aunt and her family. Our house had my family, and for part of the week, another brother and his family, and my sister and nephew. It was absolutely wonderful. Our house was a duplex, so we…

  • Vacation, the Next Phase…

    Vacation, the Next Phase…

    When the wedding was over, we all went back to the hotel. There was quite a bit of laughter with all of us crammed into one room, just hanging out: And then it was time to leave Florida and head north – destination Topsail Island in North Carolina. Jim and I talked everybody into a…

  • My Brother’s Wedding

    My Brother’s Wedding

    My brother’s wedding was the second marriage for both he and Shannon. Pete doesn’t have any children and Shannon has five kids. Our family adores Shannon and her kids and we think they’re wonderful for Pete. The wedding was a small, casual affair (which worked great for me b/c I didn’t need to pack fancy…

  • Swimming at the All Sports

    Swimming at the All Sports

    After spending the night in Atlanta, we drove on to Orlando. My brother was getting married right near Orlando, so we had made reservations to stay at Disney’s All Star Sports Resort. Unfortunately, once there I got sick and spent two days in bed. The was a silver lining to me getting sick there. First,…

  • Chattanooga

    Chattanooga

    Our marathon vacation all began because of my brother, Pete. He decided to get married in Florida. Since we wouldn’t miss it, we began to make plans. And the plans kept growing… and growing… and growing! We left our house and start driving to Florida. Normally we drive straight through, but we decided to do…

  • Hewitt Stories

    Hewitt Stories

    Hewitt just turned six – I can’t believe he’s so old!  How did that happen? (Ok, I know how it happened, I’m just struggling to accept it.) Brett and Emery made him cookies for his birthday.  After lunch they were all allowed to have one cookie.  Hewitt finished his and then came up to me…

  • Vacation Hangover

    Vacation Hangover

    We had an incredible vacation. We played very hard. I think Jade came home and experienced a vacation hangover:     Then the children got a hold of the kittens and ran them all over the place, so that Ginger experienced a post vacation hangover too: If Brett had thought to take the camera and…
