Today was an adventure for sure and the first real time I missed having an extra pair of adult hands to help me. The kids had their hearts set on doing the tie dye at the beach club. So we packed up, headed to the beach. When it was just about time for the tie…
Wednesday morning means annual fishing tournament. Another thing I really feared doing by myself. At least this time, the weather was good and we even made the early sessions. It started off a little tense, with lines getting caught, and getting glares for casting over my head and almost striking the passerbys. But we had…
We started the day with another goodbye. This time, Aunt Beth was headed back home. The kids clung to her the best they could but alas she had to hit the road. So we decided to do the same and headed to Charleston. We tried a new restaurant for lunch – the best shrimp and…
Stacy had to leave early this morning and the kids were disappointed. Cailee actually woke up crying because she missed the dogs already. They’ll definitely have to join us on more vacations. This morning I got a real run in, down the road- 2.5 out and back. It was a bit more humid, but the…
Today was beautiful. It was sunny and hot and not a cloud in the sky. We had a lazy start to the morning (to become the norm for this trip), swimming, playing darts (sorry for the holes in the wall) and ping pong. I even got in a run on the driveway (before I realized…

Every year in Oriental they hold the Croaker Festival for the fourth of July. Last year, we were a house divided, JJ and Connor went to Oriental and Cailee and I stayed home because she had a slumber party. We found ourselves in that situation again but this time we were successful convincing Cailee to…
This is year two of the kids doing swim team. It was so good for them last year – they made a lot of friends, improved their swimming skills and overall did really well for never having done it before (and barely being able to swim 25 yards freestyle at the beginning of the season)….
Its so hard to believe that Saylor is a year old – where did this year go? She’s a sweet girl, little blondie with blue eyes. My favorite thing is watching Cailee dote on her – she loves her little cousin Saylor. It shows you what a few years difference make, she’s uber competiitve with…
