Four and two are going to be great! We celebrated the kid's birthday with good friends, a made-from-scratch cake (delicious btw) and brand new scooters! I was so excited to find a gift idea that could accommodate the age range I was working with this year (since one child always wants what the other has). The scooters were a HUGE hit! Now if only this rain would go away so we could actually enjoy them...

Slacking...

Boy have I been slacking! I really didn't think anybody cared-but I guess there are a few of you (family of course) who actually view this blog! My effort to catch up will be a series of photos from the past few months-beginning in January after we returned to NC from CA through the kids birthday this past weekend. It was a COLD winter here so we really didn't do much outside of the house worth mentioning. Most pictures are just from a typical day with the littles...



All the kids

Big brothers are the coolest!


Christmas Part 2-our boxes arrived from CA and it was like Christmas all over again!

Ready to take on the cold!

WOW! It has been forever! Since my last visit I have gone on a once in a lifetime roadtrip with my best gal-spent over two months in California-returned to North Carolina-and watched my kids grow like crazy! It is hard to believe that next month they will both turn a year older...
