Family time

We took a long awaited trip to Pinehurst to visit Grammy and Grand Wink a couple weekends ago. We were anxious to see their new (actually quite old, historic) home in downtown Southern Pines. Before heading to their house, we met Grammy at the best park ever: Camelot. Fortunately, my friend and former colleague, Kristy [...]

Summer fun

I would like to blame my lack of blogging on a busy summer- but truly it could better be attributed to just plain neglect. We are enjoying the laziness of summer- in particular, not having something on our agenda each day. The kids have both participated in summer camps and the three of us have [...]

Happy Easter!

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail…
We spent Saturday of Easter weekend in Pinehurst with Grammy, Annie, and Wink. Chris and I hid Easter eggs outside, and the kids enjoyed competing to see who could find the most jelly bean-filled eggs! It was a beautiful day and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
Easter morning, [...]

Spring break at the beach

The kids and I just returned from our second annual girls (plus Jack) weekend at the beach. Mom and I drove down with the kids and met Malinda and Jocie (and Josh for one night) at North Myrtle. The weather was horrible (windy and cold), but it was wonderful to get away and to spend [...]

Matt, Monica, & Mia visit

A couple weekends ago we enjoyed an impromptu visit with Monica and family. They were in town for a wedding and stayed with us, giving us the opportunity for some babysitting time with Baby Mia. Emma Kate absolutely loved Mia’s smiles and kisses, and used the weekend to prove what a big girl helper she [...]

So many updates, so little time…

I think I have officially won the title of “World’s Worst Blogger!” I am finding it increasingly more difficult to find the time to sit down and write about all that is going on in the Harrington world. So, please forgive this catch up post, and if you are still reading my blog, thank you [...]

Fun science

Wow, it’s been a LONG time since I have written a post here. All excuses aside, I have missed sharing a little part of our world with anyone willing to read this. From several weeks ago…
The kids and I went to Hickory with my mom to meet my dad and have some science center fun. [...]

Meeting Mia

Yesterday, we finally had the opportunity to meet Baby Mia (Monica and Matt’s precious little one). Mia is so sweet, and Emma Kate and Jack really enjoyed her! The kids and I spent the evening in Wilkes, and today we are headed to Hickory for the day.

Remembering Sara

I am writing today to remember my cousin Sara who passed yesterday. Sara was a feisty spirit- intelligent, sharp, and witty. Even after a lifelong struggle with her health, she still pressed on to do the things she enjoyed most- spending time with family and friends. We always enjoyed Sara’s company- and we knew she [...]

Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere

Yesterday, Jack’s preschool class took its first field trip across the street to the DUMC pumpkin patch. The kids listened to a spooky story and picked out small pumpkins to take home.
