Mothering Emma Kate, Jack, & Liam

I would like to blame my lack of blogging on a busy summer- but truly it could better be attributed to just plain neglect.

My baby girl is now 7… wow! We actually spent Emma’s birthday in route to Hilton Head where we celebrated with cupcakes and a weekend of beach fun. The weekend prior, Emma Kate had a few little girls over for a slumber party. It was lots of fun (even for me)! The girls and I [...]

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 [...]

Tonight, we had a blast trick or treating and spending time with friends and neighbors. After sorting their loot, the kids stuffed themselves with unlimited candy until they hit a sugar plateau, then practically begged to lie down.

We enjoyed a blissful Sunday on the Blueridge Parkway with friends. We met up with the gang at the Cascades- where we shared a picnic and trailblazing (i.e.- a short walk) through the mountains. It was a beautiful day catching up with old friends (old as in I haven’t seen Jamie and Angela in forever- [...]

This morning we joined the Clausens for our annual trip to the pumpkin patch at Carrigan Farms. Our visit included a tractor ride, observing farm animals (including a ginormous turkey), pumpkin picking, and a cup of apple cider. There is something about looking out into a sea of orange pumpkins with my family and our [...]

It’s sad to realize that life gets too busy to blog (and children too needy and work too overwhelming…). So, here is a “catch up” post with a few words and a few pictures to go along with them.
