Beach Trip! Tuesday
It was our last day at the beach, and we were all feeling a little down to be heading back to real life.. But, we made the most of the time we had. The kids enjoyed some time on the porch after breakfast. Brian was pretty absorbed in the iPad, as Kendall fully enjoyed the porch swing. I thought, hm, there’s a lesson for us grownups that tend to get absorbed in our devices here.. 😉 I will work on being more present. Brandon and I worked on packing up, while Brian made a blanket fort...
Read MoreBeach Trip! Sunday
Today was a truly epic adventure! We decided to take a ride on Grandpa Steve’s boat over to Cape Lookout. Brian got to visit the marina to retrieve the boat, and then we got everyone suited up and ready to go. It took just over an hour to make the trip. Kendall slept in my arms most of the way, I think the waves, engine noise, and restriction of the life jacket just put her right out. Brian was a little apprehensive at first, but quickly decided this was a super fun adventure! I...
Read MoreKendall’s 18-month Portraits!
Kendall’s 18-month portraits are here! They turned out so well, despite her practically turning the place upside-down. Eventually, we discovered that putting on some music would bring out the smiles, and if she was dancing, she wasn’t running away. 🙂 As always, let us know if you’d like to order prints or other items, we’ll pass along the...

The kids’ summer photos from Goddard and Southern Smiles are here! Kendall is adorable in her sundress for her beach scene, and Brian’s “last ride” for his pony picture is great, as usual. 🙂 They sure are some cute kids! (I might be just a little bit...
Read MoreSpring Sibling Portraits!
Here are the kids’ spring sibling portraits! We hope to make this an annual tradition, pictures of the kids together around Mother’s Day. We had to switch studios this time, as Sears unceremoniously closed down all of their portrait studios! We switched to JCPenny’s, and though the experience was less than ideal, the results are still pretty good. What do you think? 🙂 If it’s not obvious from the, ah, creative poses, Miss Kendall was less than interested in...
Read More‘Canes Alumni Game
Today was the Carolina Hurricanes’ Alumni Game, which is a really fun family event that we look forward to! Veteran players return to the ice, and even some fans get to play with them (I think they probably have to make a pretty nice donation to charity to get the chance..! 🙂 Kendall was adorable in her pink jersey, and Brian was rocking both the black jersey and ball cap. (He was pretty pleased with those bunny snacks in the tie dye bag, he wants you to know about them!) Our friend...
