THE SUN WAS OUT TODAY! It was a perfect, cool, crisp, Fall day. It was spent with some dear old friends, many laughs, some good food, & alot of playing. At the end of the day, it’s the best kind of “tired” feeling in the whole wide world. I am blessed. Hello! I’m so glad…
party prep with some little helpers
I think this boy approves of our batches of apples we made. He was literally drooling…so was I. “We have to wait just one more day.” Seems forever for him & me. Michaels is the place to be if you are planning a party!!! I cannot tell you all the little fun stuff I got…
If Madi could talk…I think she would say…
Sometimes, when my Daddy sleeps during the day…Mommy will take us to our room to play. My brother Mason & I love looking out our window. We think it is the best thing ever to get on the table and look at the birds & squirrels. We can sit here for minutes & be very…
to market, to market…
Our local farmers & vendor market is awesome. Today happened to be the local Dahlia Society’s Day to sell their gorgeous flowers. Needless to say, I was dumb founded as to how many to get. They were all absolutely beautiful. It was just the four of us, and we did pretty good, considering. Graham usually…
Monument Tour
Our trip to DC, part II. I have always said this, and I always will…sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial is in my top 5 favorites places I have been. For me, it is an unexplainable feeling of emotion and reverence that you rarely find these days. My parents, especially my Dad has…
a bittersweet milestone
both taken with my phone. sorry, poor quality. It was a big day at the Nest. Mason and Madison were finally turned facing forward in their car seats. Big boy Mason has been more then ready, but little sis just needed to put a few more pounds on her to do so. Finally, it has…
An Afternoon in Old Alexandria
Our trip to DC, part 1. I love Old Alexandria, King Street to be exact. I feel in love with it several years ago when I would visit DC on a more regular basis. Fabulous shops, independent boutiques. old brick sidewalks, bistros, and tapas bars. So fun. The twins & I went for the day,…
We’re Back…
Our trip was great. It was the perfect time to get out of town! The kids did unbelievably well. Chief & I walked 20+ miles a day. (not really, my feet just feel like we did.) We got a super deal last minute, and I do mean last minute on Travelocity. Flight + room. Just…
Charlottes & Templetons
If you look close you can see these are the new homes for our Charlottes – that Graham & I made last week. We made two Halloween topiaries for our glittery friends. Including butterflies, ladybugs, a glittery nest, and some webbing. My photos didn’t turn out great, but I think you get the idea. Graham…
playing together
Hands down, this is Graham’s favorite place to go right now. He thinks this slide is the best thing ever. Luckily for us, we’ve been invited to 3 birthday parties here, in the past month. Hope the invitations keep coming, for Graham’s sake! Did you notice Mason’s nose & face? Poor little guy, that’s when…
