Liam's First Day of School!

Well, I am calling today Liam's "official" first day of school since I got the days mixed up last week and he ended up going late last Wednesday. Sometimes I seriously wonder how I made it through law school and into the corporate world when I can't even keep my first born's school schedule…


Labor Day...

The last of our Herron Island 2010 weekends has come to pass. We are sad but ready ourselves for Fall carrying wonderful memories of summertime!


The MacDonald's come for a visit...

Jen, Matt and Audrey came for a visit this weekend and we all went out to Herron for more island fun....


Liam's Birthday

Liam woke up this morning to a HUGE bundle of balloons (aside from guitars, his favorite thing!). Once he realized it was HIS birthday and no longer daddy's, he immediately asked for his Lightning Guitar...I had told him he could have it for his birthday. Let's just say, its been 3 days now and…


Leif's Birthday/New Deck Party

Like I said in the invitation to Leif's birthday party - "a lot of sweat and tears went into it but now we get to party on it!" We had about 25 people over for Leif's birthday on Saturday. The weather cooperated and we spent most of the night out on our new deck which I admire every time I step…


The best of friends

We were on our way to workout this morning and Skyler was having a tough time sitting still. She had been fussing for a few minutes when suddenly she stopped. About a minute later I realized it was quite and looked back to see what on earth was going on. Liam and Skyler were holding hands. Now,…


Herron Island Summer Fun

We had such a good time this last weekend at Herron Island. I know I have said this before but it truly is my heaven. The minute I see the water, I feel as though the world lifts from my shoulders. That coupled with the kids giggling and screaming as we go up and down the hills on Herron Blvd…


I can't get away with ANYTHING!

I was so tired last night as I read Liam his books before bed. I try so hard to cherish this time with him as I know, when he is 16, I will kill to have him laying next to me, cuddling and reading books! But, as all moms (and dads, especially Leif) know, there are times when all you want to do is…


Skyler LOVES horses!

Uh ohhh! Skyler looked like a real natural today on the carousel. We went to the zoo for Blake's birthday and the kids got free carousel rides. Liam, of course, loved it and could have done it over and over and over. Every time we passed Leif he'd say "HI DADDY!!!!!" So excited. Skyler, dressed…


Bathtime stories

Liam and Skyler were taking a bath together tonight when all the sudden Liam got a suspicious look on his face. I quickly asked if he had to go to the bathroom and he responded "it's ok mommy, I'm just making the water more warm!". Poor Skyler! Although i'm sure she's done it to him 100 times!
