Charlie had another fantastic night, sleeping approximately 11 hours! We ate breakfast in, baked cookies & anxiously awaited for cousin Justin’s arrival! Charlie quickly grew bashful, occasionally tossing Justin a glance & a smile – I had a feeling they’d be fast friends. We then headed out to enjoy some shopping at Fernandina Beach! The men were able to get… View Post

After getting a luxurious TEN hours of sleep, we awoke at 7 a.m. eastern time to the sound of a bubbly baby. He looked as happy as a clam & we gathered ourselves together for a homemade breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, toast and fruit. We snagged our beach stuff and headed out to the ‘beach, beach, beach’ (Charlie’s new… View Post

Our Saturday into Sunday evening was….frightful to say the least. With two queen sized beds, Jim and I still shared one with Charlie in the middle for fear that he would fall off with all of his flailing. He kicked Jim in the face repeatedly, touched parts of our faces in the middle of the night & stretched out forming… View Post

Many moons ago (okay, so maybe just back in March), we decided to embark on a vacation to lower Georgia/upper Florida. After booking a home in the area, we began planning & my parents (Momma & Poppy) joined in on the fun! We found out we were expecting at the end of April, but considering I would only be about 23… View Post

As another weekend comes to a close, I thought I’d give a quick recap of all we did over the weekend. On Friday night/Saturday morning, cousin Jonathan slept over. We played the Wii, watched a movie, went to Lake Katherine and the Little Red Schoolhouse. Charlie LOVES his cousins and is enamored with them every time they come over or… View Post

I originally asked the following & received this answer back in April of this year. Question:You always seem to have good advice for me, so whenever you have time, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts. You talked before about how sometimes God says no and how we react to situations like that. How do you handle or have you… View Post

He wanted those glasses put on. I promise. They started out at a normal level, but then slowly slipped down. He apparently is a glutton for punishment.

This is our most recent family picture as a Family of Four. I count baby in-utero because he or she kicks high enough that I’m sure the legs & feet are in this picture! Over the weekend, we learned just how difficult it will probably be once we transition to a family of four. A big difference once the baby… View Post

This past weekend, we did our annual trip to Milwaukee for tailgating and a Brewers game. Jim and I have always enjoyed spending virtually nothing on tickets and heading up north for some fun – this year was no exception. Here are some highlights from the weekend, followed by our picture slideshow: *Apple Holler – located in Sturtevant, Wisconsin     Packed… View Post
