Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • Thursday I took Zoe by to meet Jacob & Joey. Joey pet her then was on to something else, but Jake fell in love. He couldn’t pronounce her name and would call her ZZZZZZZZZZ-Joey. So cute. While I was there Sara relayed a story. Sara babysits a little boy who is Jake’s age. The other…

  • Today was Olivia‘s 3rd birthday party. I took Jake & Joey and we carpooled with Candice, Ellie, Maggie & Charlie. Gigi met us there. I’d show more pictures but as you can imagine, they are mostly of children, and I don’t want to put kids’ pics on the internet without parental consent. After the party…

  • I have so much to tell y’all. I have this “to blog about” draft with a long list, but other things keep happening and I just don’t have time to get to it all! My camera & I have been v.v. busy the last few days. First, on Thursday I went to visit with Shannon…

  • Friday the 18th was Molly’s 2nd birthday and Joey’s 3rd birthday! Saturday night I went over to Sara’s house for Joey’s birthday dinner. . It was a smallish affair with just family and a couple close friends and their kids. I wanted to make growth charts for the boys’ birthdays but Sara said she wanted…

  • As I mentioned in my last post, my nephews Jake (almost 5) and Joey (almost 3) received a set of those battery powered trucks. Joey is still a little too small to operate his so he rides around with Jake at the wheel. It was the cutest thing ever, seeing this little demo. The two…

  • Finally- the Christmas post. Christmas Eve we gathered at Sara’s (my sister) for dinner and presents. I brought over a big pan of baked mac & cheese and I also made a fabulous dip. It doesn’t really have a name, but it’s good. Cream cheese, splash of lime juice, southwest seasoning- all smeared on the…

  • Olivia spent the night with us the Thursday before Christmas. I met up with her and Will and we made the transfer. Then O & I came home and played with the “doddies” for a while. She “helped” me with some Christmas cards then we went to bed. When I told CSP that O was…

  • Sunday Sara, Jake, Joey, and I went down to my Mom’s house for dinner. While there we went by the nursing home and visited with Gmommy. We took Lucy to meet her and she just loved her. How could you not? Look how sweet and teeny she is!! After visiting with Gmommy we went back…

  • The 3 Ts. That’s what you need to stock your house if you’re having a visit from Irish people. They only stayed for 3 nights but in that time they went through a loaf and a half of bread, a package of english muffins, 4 sticks of butter, and a half a jar of jam.…

  • Do you know how hard it is to type with no space bar? And could it have been at a worse time?? Shannon’s in China- emailing with her had to be limited to just a few words cause of the space bar situation. Ugh. I can’t wait to meet Miss Em when they come home!…
