Our Adventure called Life

Face Time with Daddy When the opportunity came for Scott to get away from the daily stresses of life and head north for a week long fishing trip with the guys, we both said "YES!"  He knew he needed it, I knew he needed it, and the kids and I could handle a week without our favorite guy. Back in Warrick County Monday morning he pulled out before the sun or the kids had woken.  As the kids rolled out of bed asking if daddy already "went to work?" I explained that he was heading north on a fishing trip, even showing them on a map that daddy was far away.  Nearly a week after he's been gone, they continue to think daddy is just at work.  Some concepts are just hard to grasp when you're little. They love playing at playgrounds Tuesday we headed to my parents house to soak up some Nana and Papaw love!  It was a beautiful day so we headed to the lake to get some exercise and let the kids burn off some energy.  We stuffed ourselves with pizza and ...

Our son As August rolls around, I begin telling our children the stories of their births.  Paisley is more interested than Lila, often saying "Tell me about when you met me."  I happily recap the excitement his daddy and I felt, how we were a little nervous, and how hearing him cry was the best sound I ever heard.  It makes him smile to hear about his "birth" day.  After the kids go to bed Scott and I reminisce over the more serious parts of his "birth."  We can (sorta) laugh now about the difficulty and stress that getting him here caused.  Knowing how it all turned out, I'd do it again a hundred times over. Our daughter The party planning had began months ago and once again we planned a combined party for our August angels.  Our invitations invited family and friends to a Paw-ty.  Paisley picked Paw Patrol (a show about a pack of helpful pooches and Lila wanted a Hello Kitty party.  We rented a huge water slide from a local infla...

I want to blog more, I really do!  At least once a day I will have a topic or feeling that I want to explore and dig in to.  However, those times that I feel inspired are usually not the best time to sit down at the computer and unleash the words that want to come out.  When the time is right for me to grab a few minutes to write my story, the words either are no longer ready to travel from my mind to the screen or Scott is home from work and I want to give my attention to him.  The next thing I know, a month has passed and my blog has gone silent.  Boo. Daddy's birthday The end of June brought Scott turning another year older (just in case anyone forgot, he is still older then me).  The kids were so excited to help wrap gifts for their daddy and make cupcakes (and eat them).  Both kids had to blow out candles and help open gifts.  They find delight in the most simplest of moments. My little firecrackers Fourth of July brought a family...
