Some highlights of our first family trip to the zoo…

This is about all of Charlotte you’ll see from this trip - she spent most of her time asleep in the back of the stroller (about 15 minutes maybe) or in the sling around my neck. So, there’s her sling strap!
My favorite exhibit, the coke […]

I know I talk about Encores & More North Childrens Consignment Sale every time it rolls around, but trust me, its for a good reason. Well, really a few good reasons.

This toybox was repurposed as a hat…
Dad got an iPod as a […]

On Christmas Morning we enjoyed getting up leisurely and bringing the girls out to read the Christmas Story from the Bible and open a few presents under the tree.(Do you see how awesome our rocking chair looks? It was given to us by our friends the Lyons Family when Norah joined our family. […]

Skipping Christmas photos for the moment because its a larger task. And I need to work within my time window this morning…
Nonie made Norah these stinkin’ cute ruffle pants because the Matilda Jane ones I bought her are way too big for now. We LOVE them Nonie!!!
Charlotte is growing so much and her […]

Norah’s Titans cheerleader dress was given to her by her Mama Lynette for Christmas last year. Charlotte’s was given to her by her Grannie this year! Kind of cool I think.
