This weekend there was a mini state fair at the NC State Fairground, so after Cailee’s final soccer game of the season we all headed to Raleigh. The kids were pretty excited to see all the rides and I was thrilled that there were so many that Cailee AND Connor could ride. Connor has the…
Ok, this will be it for the dance pictures for at least a few months, I promise. We’d survived two competitions so far so when the end of the year recital came around, which was completely new territory for me last year, this time around, I felt like I was an old pro. And speaking…
This past week was Cailee’s Mother’s day luncheon. As I have the last three years, I really enjoyed it and I didn’t even think of the significance until one of the other mother’s had to bring up the fact that this would be her last one. Thinking of that was the only thing that put…

We had a lot to celebrate this weekend, not only the greatest gift from God and the story of Easter, but it was JJ’s 40th birthday! So we made it a multi-day affair – Birthday and Easter all weekend long. I’m exhausted (only kidding). We did Birthday dinner with the fam on Friday night, birthday…
