We had a wonderful Christmas!  I hope you all did as well!  Ashley got lots of toys, books, shoes, etc.  Now we are just trying to find a place to put them all!  Her big present from Santa was a Strider Bike.  The concept is that if a child can walk, they can ride the [...]

 

Toby's Early Christmas

We got Toby a dog bed today for Christmas.  He and Blake used to have their own couch, which they slept on every night.  But when we put our house on the market back in April, we got rid of the couch.  It wasn’t exactly show-worthy.  And ever since then, the boys have had to [...]

Surprise!

Ashley and I showed up at Holden Beach yesterday to surprise Nana and Grandaddy.  Nothing like an impromptu visit by your granddaughter!  This morning we went out to the beach and Ashley made a new friend.  A little surfer dude in a wetsuit.  So cute!  His name was J.E.  They shared goldfish and shells together.  [...]

 

Sunblock Escapade

I have a funny story to share.  Last Friday, Ashley and I were upstairs playing when she decided to sneak away while I was on my laptop.  I could hear her downstairs making noise, so I figured she was okay.  I normally only get worried when it’s quiet – then I know she’s up to [...]
