I took the kids to Ravetta Photography on Hampton and did their Spring photos while Nathan was on Spring Break. They turned out SO well, I am so excited. I tried this place when Nathan was a baby and they had a lamb, and he was SO scared of the lamb. They had bunnies this… >> View Post

March Wrap Up Post
March has REALLY felt like a long month… Not sure why, maybe because things are slowly starting to get back to normal around here? In March: 1. I signed Nathan up for 1st grade in the Fall 2. I signed Autumn up for PRESCHOOL for three half days! She has seemed SO grown up lately!… >> View Post
Nathan and Autumn Interviews

2012 Easter Bunny Picture – FIRST Year Autumn Didn’t Cry!
I have decided the best time to go to see the Easter Bunny at the mall is right after church and Sunday school… the kids are already dressed up! And, an added bonus… Autumn did not have any tears this year. Brave, brave girl!
Last Day of Spring Break at the Zoo
Last night was the first night ALL week that Autumn slept through the night. I guess the ear drops and antibiotics really helped her little ear feel MUCH better. Actually, we ALL slept in until 7:30am. It was pure pleasure for me. It was quite rainy outside while we all ate breakfast, so I was… >> View Post

Pot of Gold Craft with the Kiddies

St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt, Fun Times!
I wanted to do something fun with the kids for St. Patrick’s Day, and I LOVE scavenger hunts… so, I think this may be a new tradition in our household. A St. Patrick’s scavenger hunt, lead by no other than Leprechaun Nickel himself! I decided to start it off on the kitchen table, since this… >> View Post
Spirit Week – Grandparents Day
Once a year, they have Grandparents Day at Nathan’s school… this year my Mom and Dad went, and of course they brought little Auttie along.
