We took our party of 5 to the pool this afternoon for what was likely the last time this summer. The water is starting to get cool, but the crowd was still thick- probably doing the same thing we were. Trying to soak up the last seconds of a summer gone too fast. Today was [...]

I spent an amazing morning with my love-lys. Riding bikes. Swinging together on a wooden swing hanging from a 100-year old tree. Exploring. Grabbing homegrown veggies from the local farmer’s market. Jack has a new bike. And it is truly awesome (he thinks so too). It is designed as a balance bike so that the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
