This little corner of the web has been quiet for a few weeks. Between school starting, spending a lot of time at the hospital for asthma visits, two rounds of company, an end-of-summer trip and celebrating half of our family’s birthdays, down time has been non-existent. I do love this…
I was taking pictures today simultaneously with my phone and my nice camera. My sister-in-law asked me why I was alternating. I told her it was because the pictures from my phone could be posted on Instagram in “real time,” whereas the pictures from my camera most likely wouldn’t be uploaded and…
In the middle of our quick Christmas Break trip, we spent a couple of days at a nearby resort. We started the escape by leaving Nash happily napping at home with a sitter, and enjoying a special pool day with Blake. He couldn’t have been more thrilled about the ginormous…
