Photo Friday: New England Favs

Here are a few from our girls’ trip to New England- Newport, Boston, and Salem.  There’s MUCH more content to come, including our itinerary, but these are some of my favorites, not just because of the quality but because of the memories.  House of Seven Gables…can I be honest and say I don’t remember theContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: New England Favs”

Ozark Mountains/Branson Trip Itinerary

You may remember last year we survived the road trip with the entire family to Branson. We had a great time and loved how beautiful the Ozarks are so we wanted to come back for another trip to enjoy more of the mountains.

Regardless of whether you agree withContinueContinue reading “Capturing Freedom”

Kate and Cat (AKA Dawg)

The girls take after their daddy and looove Samantha, the cat, who they lovingly refer to as Dawg. She is surprisingly patient with them, considering they lay on her, pull her tail, and chase after her on a daily basis.  I happened to hear the girls giggling behind the couch and was lucky enough to catchContinueContinue reading “Kate and Cat (AKA Dawg)”

Photo Friday: Home for (After) Christmas 

We celebrated Christmas after Christmas with the Odom family when everyone could get together. We actually remembered to get some family photos. I think they turned out cute…even if Kate didn’t want to look at the camera and was not happy by the time we got to our immediate family photo! These are a fewContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Home for (After) Christmas ”
