7 years of marriage deserves…
towels! last year, we went to hilton head island for a sweet long weekend beach trip. this year, well, we had a baby a week before our anniversary, so we knew we weren’t going to go on any fantastic voyages… so, instead we splurged on towels… our old towels were from when we got married […]
sweet track for thomas
Derek and Isaac constructed this awesome train for Thomas and hisfellow battery powered engines.
helping (smashing into) dad.
on saturday, derek went out to hack down our ridiculously long lawn and isaac went out to help. and by help, i mean try to ram his toy lawn mower into the real (dangerous) lawn mower. he’s obsessed with smashing into things….please disregard the overgrown garden in the background.
Day 3 – Official Roan Mountain Post
Yesterday, we took the advice of the Duncan family, and headed off to Roan Mountain on the border of NC and Tennessee. We hiked around (hiking, pleading with isaac, cleaned up an accident, sat at the top of the mountain, climbed big rocks, ate candy) for a few hours. The boy is a trooper. And […]

we’ll be comin’ ’round the mountain….

day out with thomas…
a few weeks (months?) back, we went out to blowing rock to tweetsie railroad for the “day out with thomas”… thus began isaac’s obsession with thomas the train… here are some pics. if you click on any of them, the internetz will whisk you away to my picasa album, which contains many more thomas pics… […]
Family day
Derek needs to use up some vacation days, so he's been staying home here and there. Today, we took Isaac to the childrens museum and now we are lunching at the mellow mushroom… Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
patterson farms
after church today, we made a spontaneous decision to go to patterson farms to check out the pumpkin patch. it was a little bit crazy, considering the sleep schedule adjustments we were going through due to the time change, but we figured all crabby boys would get over their sleepiness when they saw the wonders […]
