How is that even possible?? Last weekend, Brogie turned 5 months, and I am really not at all sure where the last 5 months went. Is it really almost November? At his Dr. appointment this month he had officially doubled his birthweight, showed her how he could blow raspberries and sit up, stood when she [...]

Autumn means cooler weather, crisp leaves, fires in our fire pit, darker mornings, apple everything, pumpkins, the start of holiday season, birthdays galore….and a trip to the mountains.

Happy birthday today (also) to Hannah Elizabeth, my only niece. She joined our family last year, and we were surprised and thrilled to find out that she was born exactly the same day and year as CJ. We are still needing to find out what time she was born – but it has been so [...]

Seven years ago tomorrow, I was given a gift. It was the second gift of its kind to bless our home, but it was precious and unique all on its own. It was the gift of a baby – our first son. When Christopher Jack was born, the first thing I noticed about him was [...]

I have been worried that the kids are outgrowing the magic of Disney and that by the time we finally go to Disney World, it will be just a “baby thing” for them. My fears were put to rest this week. My mom and I took the 4 kids to Disney on Ice in Charlotte [...]
