Road Trip

On March 7, 2010 – we took a little road trip this past weekend to visit my parents in Murrells Inlet, SC. The kids did awesome on the trip over…they watched Mulan – what a cute little movie. The weather was good, in the 50’s, but a little too cool with the ocean winds. But we did take an adventure on Saturday morning to Pawley’s Island to check out the ocean and the views. I love exploring and the kids love running on the beach. Lucas also loves going to his grandparents b/c they own a Wii (we don’t – that would be too dangerous with Phillip AND Lucas)! Lucas master bowling, boxing and tennis. I think Lucas’ high score in bowling was like a 162…crazy! Nina also loves playing in my mother’s make-up…we have a future make-up artist on our hands. She also loves digging into my mother’s old jewelry boxes. The kids found some of my old teeth – that was hilarious! But then I got to fill Lucas in on the tooth fairy. I also found my mother’s certificate for passing her driver’s exam. Wild what my mother has kept over the years. I was giving her a hard time but then I realized what will be in my closet when I am 54. Sorry mom – I just noted your age. But if you ask me…you are pretty darn young!

Our Journey

I have decided to use our family web site to capture our journey as a family. I wanted an outlet to talk about the wonderful little things in life, the never ending challenges as parent, and to be able to look back on my words in a year, two or even three and remember but also to reflex. Be sure to visit the kids pages for updates on the little ones.

Thanks for reading…

Where is the time going???

It was just June and Nina was turing two and now it is the beginning of November (soon my birthday) but also soon to be Lucas’ birthday!!! Time slow down!! I can’t slow time down but I will definitely try to enjoy my kids and my family as much as I can every single minute of the day!

We had a wonderful day this week and below is an awesome picture I took of the both of them! Enjoy!

Nina is turning 2!

We can’t believe it…our baby girl, Nina, will be turning two on Friday! Where in the world did the last two years go? The actual thought of her turning two brings tears to my eyes…I think because now she will no longer be a baby. However, she is still our baby!

A little about our Nina…she is wild and fearless! You should see her in the pool, the first night we went to our neighborhood pool she just jumped off the side into 5 feet deep water (FEARLESS!), no worries - I (her mommy) went flying in right after her. I put her back on the side of the deck pool and she went for it again! Needless to say, I will not be at the pool by myself much this summer with her and Lucas. She is also very bull headed - she knows exactly what she wants and if she doesn’t get it…you will hear her scream from a mile away.

Yes, she is a handful now but I can’t wait to see her when she is older.

Besides being fearless and bull headed, she is beautiful and sweet. We have taught her how to say love and she knows that hugs and kisses go with the word!

Nina, I wish you a VERY Happy Birthday! You are my baby!

Love,

Mommy

Getting Closer

After years of paying for hosting and a constant badgering (I’ll hear it for using that word I’m sure) from Kerrie, the site is finally starting to come around. We’ll see how it goes. Perhaps Kerrie will feed and maintain it. Only time will tell.

After what seemed like an eternity of rainfall, we finally have another 70 degree day. I’m working with my window open on the 3rd floor and can hear the kids screaming bloody murder in the back yard. I suspect Lucas did not take a nap today because the screaming is mostly coming from him.

This has no doubt been the longest winter ever! Thank god it ends tomorrow. Perhaps it’s not the seasons that are any different but with the kids getting older, housing them indoors for months on end gets a little old. They are just as stir crazy as Kerrie and I. To say I’m looking forward to the warmer days of spring is an understatement.
