As if our trip to Oriental was not enough – we decided to jam-pack the long weekend with more activities. JJ said – driving home tonight – that it felt like he had been off for a week with as much as we decided to do – I am not sure if that’s a good…
In a throw back to the good old days – JJ and I returned to Oriental, NC with Cailee in tow to attend the Croaker Festival – the 30th Annual nonetheless. Well before Cailee was even a fleeting thought, JJ and I spent many weekends (while dating) on his parent’s sailboat in Oriental – a…
I thought these were some funny pictures to share. Cailee has this thing for shoes these days (if I hadn’t told you that already). Even so much so that she insists on putting shoes on with her PJ’s after her bath. This usually isn’t a big deal as her ensembles are footless during these 90…
Holly did a great job of getting a great blend of pictures – exactly what I was looking for – some cute photos of Cailee alone, some with mom, some with dad and best of all – some shots of the three of us. I can’t ask for much more considering this was only a…
Man, when they tell you that your life changes with a kid – you just can’t really anticipate what that means. Where in the past (pre-Cailee) weekends were filled with shopping (me) and napping (JJ), nice dinners out (dates!) and a carefree life style – now its filled with whatever we can do to entertain…
Coming from a designer by profession – it probably seems odd to have an entry titled “A chance to design” because that is what I do most of my life. But this was different… seeing my IBM colleageu and fellow working mom (and I mean that literally – she works simultaneously with the kids –…
Sadly, I didn’t get a single picture of Cailee with JJ on Father’s day. So instead I’ve decided to share some of my favorite pictures of Cailee with Daddy over the past nearly two years (where does the time go?). While she couldn’t quite say Happy Father’s Day – If you could hear the number…
We were done photos by 10 so we had much more day to enjoy. We followed our session up with breakfast at Chikfila and some serious sliding (do all chickfila’s have slides – if so that’s major kudos to them – and to think a year ago I never even noticed – this year they…
Well I bit the bullet and arranged for some family photos this weekend. Holly Marie, a very patient and talented photographer was offering mini sessions. I knew this could be the best situation as Cailee would have little tolerance for 1.5 of photos, let alone 20 -30 minutes, however I wasn’t sure if such a…
Once again, Cailee and I were the sole girls at the advanced design team picnic (3rd annual) – but that makes no difference to us. The weather was great (even though it was later in the year than normal), the food was plentiful and of course you can’t beat the company (even if its all…
