Our Kinda Weird but REALLY Great Weekend

I had two goals going into this weekend. Number 1, celebrate the birth and life of this sweet child: And Number 2, to watch my Gamecocks win the SEC Championship. You are already well aware of how the second goal of mine went so we won’t focus on that one, K? 😉 I still love...

Thanksgiving 2010!

They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. Psalm 145:7 I hope you all had THE BEST Thanksgiving and are lazily napping this rainy day away. Unless you’re out shopping at the best store around town, Tomlinson’s (shameless plug of family business). Seriously, though, they’ve got some really great stuff this...

    Wow, you are a great mama!! It amazes me all the creative ideas you have for your kids and family. If you decide to go to James Island, let me know. Maybe we could meet ya? Oh, and I haven’t forgotten about our portraits. I like one and Stew likes another so we are trying to decide which one!! Of course I LOVE them all but the ONE for the house is the one I’m talking about 🙂ReplyCancel

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Such a Fun weekend!!! As much as I dread the over-tired, sugar overload attitudes that come along with this holiday, I LOVE the excitement that Mak and CB get from dressing up and running door to door begging for candy with all of their friends. And I love seeing what the different kids choose to...

Picking our Perfect Pumpkin(s)

Seriously LOVING this season!!! And this has to be the coolest October in South Carolina on record, right? I mean, we went to the pumpkin patch at Highland Park in long-sleeved shirts and we weren’t sweating. Has that ever happened before? This is one of my very favorite things that we do each year.

    Don’t you think pumpkin pictures make the best ones??? My fall pictures are my favorite ones of any all year long. These are wonderful and I miss getting our pumpkins from Highland Park this year (although we’ll buy a couple the next time we’re in Florence, I’m sure).ReplyCancel
