Adoption Photo Blog

Ohdeedoh is a blog I love to read that features topics about your home/style/design/kids. My favorite thing about this blog is the Nursery Tours, where they highlight nurseries and kids rooms. I have gotten some great ideas for our home and Norah’s room from there.
Anyway, they are discussing Escapes and Outings this month […]

On our way home from Bolivar we stopped at North Park in Jackson - a huge new beautiful playground with tons of padded playground surfaces and brightly colored playground equipment. I really wish it wasn’t 100 degrees or we could have stayed and played all afternoon…however, it was pretty hot so our little ones […]

Norah and I sure did have a big week in Bolivar with Grammy, Granddaddy and Aunt Lucy. Grammy is a champ and is doing so great with all of her knee surgery rehab exercises. We are so proud of her! A few things that we did this week…
Drank a lot of milk

We spent our Fourth of July holiday in West Tennessee with Brad’s family. Grammy Linda had knee replacement surgery on the third and by the fourth she was itching to get her hands on the babies. We spent some of the day visiting with Grammy in the hospital and some of the day […]

On Tuesday morning Norah got up early, so Mom and I left Kyle in the bed and we took Norah down to the beach to play in the sand. There was a large umbrella already set up next to the beach chairs with an umbrella, so we chose that spot to set up camp […]

Our daily routine was mostly beach/pool in the morning, nap, lunch, pool, nap and then clean up for dinner. I was so excited to put Norah in a few more summery outfits that I had been saving for the beach!
Here’s Norah and her Grannie, all cleaned up and ready to head out on the […]

Part of our trip that was very special to us is that we stayed in the same place that we stayed in as children - the Sting Ray. It’s a smaller set of condos with a pool and kiddie pool, not fancy or luxurious, but just what you need to have a great week. […]
