The Great Wolf Lodge

I am definitely a little late in posting this – I have been in Orlando all week for work (which is another post all in itself – it is painfully hard to be at Disney without the family). Today I am heading home (YEAH!) but right in the middle of like a tropical storm –…

Our memorial day picnic

After our adventure at the Great Wolf Lodge (more to come on that) we headed over to Jen’s house for a great picnic with Dave and Jen. They, of course, had a fabulous spread with some food directly from their garden. That’s very impressive to someone who has never contemplated cooking with food I grew,…

Ice cream, Ice cream, we all scream for Ice cream!

I always loved that saying when I was a kid – thank goodness my kids aren’t aware of it yet – but that doesn’t stop them from pestering for ice cream and JJ is quick to oblige (ice cream is most definitely his vice). Lately, we have been frequenting a great little ice cream parlor…

Hillsborough Hog Day!

It’s been a rainy weekend (which is not altogether bad – it makes for a good naps), but we were lucky to sneak in a few hours outdoors at the annual Hillsborough Hog Day. This event has a tendency to sneak up on you and pass you by without realizing – but it’s one of…

Dancin’ queen

Cailee has been dancing and singing A LOT lately. She runs around and says – “shake your bottom” – and does a little wiggle. I don’t really know where this is coming from but it’s pretty cute. Tonight we stumbled upon the cultural fest in downtown Durham, where “Naughty by nature” was playing – so…

Another season of soccer is in the books

I am playing a little of catchup here. This past week has been such a momentous one that its taking me almost as many days to actually document all the happenings. On Saturday, it was Cailee’s last game of the spring soccer season. Unfortunately, for this reason or another, we missed a number of games…

Nothin’ better than this!

These photos rank right up there among my favorites now – what more can a momma hope for then two kiddos that love each other. I’ve said it a lot lately – but this really melts my heart.
