Proud Parents



We are so blessed! Her "mama" & "dada" love her to pieces. There is nothing better than hearing those words or seeing those little arms reach out for you!

Count the Babies!


We had a great morning with all our friends. 8 mommies & 13 babies- what fun! Such a blessing to have great friends & for our children to grow up together. Lots of us went to preschool together, but we were all friends by middle school. Too many memories & too many stories for us all to share, & some we will never share!! Can't wait to get together again soon.

Willy Wonka Weekend




Our nephew Cameron was in Willy Wonka this weekend so we headed to Wilmington to show our support. He was Mr. Salt, you know sweet Veruca Salt's dad- the bad egg/nut who wanted it allllll! They did a great job! In Saturday's performance he also played an Oompa Loompa & looked great with purple hair! The cast of 75 worked hard all summer & did a great job. We enjoyed the show!

Saturday evening we headed out on the boat & found a great spot to swim and play. Olivia loved the water. We found a sand bar & she enjoyed playing & splashing. She found sand & really liked eating her salty fingers! Our little beach bum had a great time & we had a great weekend.

A Little "Sunshine" on a Cloudy Day


"You are my sunshine" will always be our Grandma song. She sang it a million times & rocked us a million miles to that tune! Today is Grandma's birthday, 97 years. What an amazing woman & we are so thankful for ALL the memories. "No tears" she always told us, but sometimes it is hard. Just thought we needed a little sunshine on a cloudy day!

This picture was taken a few years ago on her 94th. So blessed to have her for so long- we were spoiled rotten & loved every minute of it, & she did too!

She is missed, more than we can even talk about still. She lives in our hearts & will always be with us. We are reminded of her in the little things that bring a smile & even tears. Look around today & see where you see her. Ask yourself, "what do you feel?" & know that the answer will always be, "I feel LOVE!" It might be a yellow lawn chair, a sniff of Vick's Vapor Rub, the theme song to Matlock, while you're eating a porkchop or watering your cucumber plants- she is there! We smile & we feel "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!"
