Perfect weather, children of a certain age, cousins to play with and plenty of hands to help made for our best beach trip yet. Ellie is officially swimming on her own and Thomas, James, and Jack are no longer terrified of the water, wind, or waves. Here are a few photos of our time:

Ski Trip 2012
Posted in Family, Travel, tagged ellie, photos on February 28, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Ellie and I enjoyed our second annual mother daughter ski trip. Such adventures really highlight Ellie’s gracious spirit. 4am wake up calls, long flights, long car trips, and an abundance of adult conversations brought no complaints from her. She just rolled with the punches. We skied two days this year and spent a night in [...]

Road Warriors

Our mission was to get from Charlotte to Denver with all four children so that we could have an extended period of time to see my family and extended family. We contemplated flying, and ultimately decided in favor of driving to allow us to bring our own gear and to have more control over our [...]

We just returned from a pleasant, week-long vacation to Amelia Island. Despite a very long trip down due to road construction, all four children handled the trip well. The weather was brisk, even by north Florida standards, but it did not stop us from enjoying some outdoor fun and a much-needed change of pace. Although [...]

Thanksgiving marked the first time that the boys had left Charlotte and the first time that Ellie or I had left since March. This is such a departure from our previous lifestyle (by four months-old, Ellie had already been in 14 states) and we were definitely ready to get away to the mountains. The children [...]
March has come and gone

Yet another month has gone by, and yet another month without much blog activity. Each day, I recount for Wes something funny or intelligent that Ellie did that day. Perhaps I need to blog with the same frequency so as to take the burden off of me when I finally sit down to do it. [...]
Happy Birthday to our sweet girl!

Two years ago today, our lives changed in a profound and most joyous way. I remember last year feeling sad and a bit regretful over how quickly her first year passed. This year, I have felt nothing but celebratory. Last year, I felt like I was holding on to something I did not want to [...]
