All smiles

We hit up Brightleaf last night – as we do most Friday nights – for Mexican and Jazz dancing in the street. Both of the kids were either on the run or showing off their dance moves. You’ve not seen anything if you haven’t seen my kiddos move and groove. Clearly they get their rhythm…

Our family photos – the gallery link!

I was so thrilled to receive our full photo gallery from Kellie Kano last night. She did a fabulous job – but we knew that during the session – the spirit was just relaxed and carefree and that is what elicits real smiles and laughter. There are so many good shots to choose from that…

The weekend before

Last weekend we didn’t do anything out of the ordinary but those are still some of the best – and the times I hope our kids remember. On Saturday we met up with the Hamletts and headed to downtown High Point for a Bike race. It was part of the USA Biking series and quite…

Our ‘acation to see Aunt Beth

To translate Cailee’s words, us girls + GiGi drop up to Asheville to spend the weekend with Beth. We had a lot of fun and crammed quite a bit in 24 hours – good grub (including homemade lasagna), church, playgrounds (yes, multiple), hide-n-go-seek, walks, some scooter riding, the Nature Center, a tunnel, and more. I’m…

Family photos… Finally

We haven’t had a real family photo session since Cailee was four months old, and of course, four years ago we were only a fam of three, so we were in desperate need of an update. Kellie Kano came highly recommended by the Hamletts, And considering they have excellent taste, we knew we couldn’t go…

Remember this lil guy?

Remember this little guy – barely a week old? Look at him now! He’s our big, little fluff ball, and now that he’ll walk on a leash, the kids are loving toting him all around – on walks, hikes, to the park and more. He pretty much rules and is better at posing for pictures…

So picturesque

JJ’s parents recently trekked across country to Yellowstone and along the way saw many awesome, notable sites (Old Faithful, St. Louis Arch, Mt. Rushmore). While they were gone we went to keep the puppies company – it turned out to be a playdate for Bailey and the kids. The kids love running around their property…

Moms with cameras class #2

I attended a fun photo class this past weekend. It was part two in a series of classes geared towards moms with cameras (led by Rebekkah Heath Tozer, a local photographer). Photography has become my new creative outlet so this is right up my alley. I only wished I had started sooner. I think of…

Our July happenings

I know I owe several posts to catch everyone up – but I am going to cut some corners today (because I was up way too late and had to get up way too early and I’m toast but determined to get this done). So here’s what’s been going on in our neck of the…

My roller skating star

We had a first last weekend – it was Isabella’s 6th birthday party and it was a roller skating party. I wasn’t sure how Cailee would take to skating. Of course I dressed her in 80s roller skating attire (not a far stretch since florescent and knee high socks are actually the passing trend), figuring…
