Mini Me






Having kids is sometimes like looking in the mirror and seeing yourself in a way you never have before. This is great when you think your kid is the cutest thing ever and someone comments on how "they look just LIKE you!" Not so great when your two year old wigglers their chubby finger at you explaining, "no, no, no" in a tone that reminds you of your mother. Learning the traits that the kids "got" from each of us is too fun. Jack has his mama's sweet tooth, eyes and cuddliness and dad's LOVE for sports, hair and "pleaser" mentality. It's a bit early to make calls on Isla-but she DEFINITELY is a chatterbox (I wonder where she gets it:)

Happy kids





Adam has been off for nearly a month and it makes us all so HAPPY! We've been to Virginia for a family visit, Savannah for a family vacation and this weekend we are off to the beach for a quick get-away. The second year of dental school will be more demanding than the first (is it even possible?) because Adam will be taking the state board exams during Christmas break - so we won't have time like this until next Summer. I keep reminding myself that it will all be worth it and to savor this time while we've got it :)
