July 29, 2011 – 12:36 am

Owen, Sophie, Quinn and James, crawling up and down, up and down, up and down two […]

Ashley & Mark’s Wedding

July 28, 2011 – 11:30 pm

We finished our drive home from vacation on a Saturday and that night a sitter arrived at our house to watch the boys (yes, it was a bit crazy). We decided Sophie was old enough to stay up late for a wedding, and she was invited, and she loves to dance, so we got her […]

Sophie’s Trip with Nini and Pop Pop to Buy Shrimp

July 26, 2011 – 11:49 pm

Each family made dinner for everyone one night of the trip. While my sister and I simply went to the grocery, my parents managed to find a place where they could buy fresh shrimp for their meal, directly from the men who caught it. I didn’t go with them to purchase the shrimp, but Sophie […]

An Afternoon Walk to the Beach

July 26, 2011 – 11:35 pm

When the cold sets in in only a few months’ time, and I long for the sun, I will remember this walk—this perfect, perfect walk. “To see the Summer SkyIs Poetry, though never in a Book it lie—True Poems flee.” —Emily Dickinson

Ocean Isle Beach—The Trip There

July 24, 2011 – 11:15 pm

James has no idea he has a 12-hour car ride ahead of him. (Andy is tying the gate to the top of the van, after we ran out of room inside of the van.) I’m pretty sure I packed most everything baby-related in the house. We listened to Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations,” and the boys […]
