We are getting ready to go on our anniversary trip this weekend! We are going to Kiawah Island off the coast of Charleston. We always anticipate our anniversary trip a ton and make a really big deal out of it. We enjoy looking forward to it as much as actually going on it! However, this […]

We had an amazingly wonderful weekend! We all slept in Saturday morning, then the three of us had lots of fun together spending time with Amanda, Courtney and Kristin outside at Aldridge Gardens doing our fifth annual Itty Bitty Magic City Scavenger Hunt, dressed our baby up like an Easter bunny and let her enjoy […]

Greta inspired me to do this, who was inspired by someone else to do this. I’ll try to make my facts interesting and comment-worthy, and I’ll see if I can get at least one fact in there that each person wouldn’t know (even my silent-but-daily-blog-reading mom!!) : 1. I like my middle name, Victoria, a […]

God gave me a better understanding of my main spiritual gift this week. It is exhortation – which is a mix between having discernment to see what people need to hear and being able to encouragingly tell them. However, I have heard it taught before (and find it very true in my own life), that […]

OK. . . so when we moved last August, we moved to this great little neighborhood. It is unincorporated Jefferson County (great bang for your buck if you’re planning on Christian schooling or homeschooling), but it is surrounded by four sides by Mountain Brook.

It is really amazing when babies start to understand the world around them and how to communicate with it. It is even more astounding when they figure out things that you didn’t even teach them!! It’s like there’s this big “change” sometime around one year old, where they become little people and start to just […]

Here are some pictures from yesterday! At church, at home, at the Botanical Gardens. Flying!!!!! This picture is on the bridge that Gramamma and Pop got married on!!! (At Botanical Gardens)

We just put Ali to bed early, because she was one tired little girl! She spent the night with Gramamma last night, and then since she napped pretty late for her morning nap, we skipped her afternoon nap and went and visited AJ and Nathaniel (Nathaniel was hanging out with AJ while his older siblings […]

This is a picture that I took of Ali today. She’s got enough hair now to do side pigtails instead of the devil horns on top of her head (I liked my little brother’s name for them better – he said she looked like a viking warrior). Her more “real” pigtails really make her look […]
