Hello, hello. I’m sorry it’s been a while. There’s a lot going on, which I’ll tell you about soon. As I’m sure many of you saw on social media, my sister’s wedding was last weekend! We had a fabulous time, and I’m thankful our travel went smoothly! We arrived in Charlottesville on Friday, and had a lovely cocktail party with the family that evening. Saturday, we ate a fun lunch on the downtown mall, and by late afternoon, it was…

Hi y’all, There’s not a whole lot going on over here – September has been kind of blah in general? After Emerson’s croup, she came down with her first double ear infection. So we spent our weekend inside with the exception of quickly grabbing margaritas and guacamole before getting takeout on Saturday night. I’m hoping to get out and about more this coming weekend! I’m happy to be resting on the couch after finishing another work week. It was a…
Part II of our Maui trip was absolutely fabulous. Emerson adjusted to the time change and we all felt great! On the short drive from Kapalua to Wailea, we stopped at the Maui Ocean Center. Emerson was protesting a nap, and absolutely loved looking into the fish tanks. She’s just starting to point, and would laugh when she saw something in a tank. I loved seeing he giant rays and the sea turtles. We made our way down to the…
How is it the end of summer? Time is definitely moving faster now that I have a little one. I go back to work on Tuesday with mixed emotions! We traveled for Maui for our big vacation this year. Matt is at the end of a year-long internal project (so sad that he’ll be traveling again:() and was able to take a lot of time off, so we decided to stay 12 nights and split our time between the north…
Hi! How are you guys? I’m so happy to be home after a fun-filled trip. My family spent the week at Bald Head Island for our annual beach trip! We flew home to NC two days early because the flights were outrageous over the holiday weekend. Emerson was delighted to meet my childhood best friend, Ducky. She was saying duc-t all day and was too excited to sleep or eat if Ducky was in sight. Matt’s birthday was on…
Hello! We had the privilege of attending a wedding in the beautiful Ojai, California this past weekend. We stayed at the Ojai Valley Inn and the resort was stunning! I think I was so focused on packing for this trip plus all the wedding festivities, that I wasn’t anticipating how gorgeous the surrounding area would be. Expectations exceeded. We arrived on Thursday afternoon, and there was a welcome party at a neat little picnic shop. Everything was outdoors and the…
Hello, hello, So many fun things have happened…where do I begin? My mom was in town last week, and we had a blast playing with Emerson and shopping for summer clothes. My mom couldn’t believe how much personality Em has and how much she has grown up since March. It was nice to have some additional help for a few days, and I slept until 8:00! Matt and I also celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary! My mom was kind…
Hello! We’re back from our spring break trip to MD and FL. Despite a few low points, we had a great time. Airplane travel went great with Emerson, but all three of us got a cold during the first half of the trip. Needless to say, sleep was difficult. We had a blast visiting Matt’s parents though, and enjoyed being able to relax at their house and catch up. My family even drove up for one night, so we had…
Spring break starts tomorrow. Woohoo! We’re going to visit Matt’s parents in MD, and then heading down to Florida for a few days of beachin’. I’m excited and nervous. Excited to see family and introduce Emerson to the ocean. Nervous to fly and find out how hard it really is to ‘vacation’ with a baby. I feel like I’ve been packing for days. Weeks, maybe? Matt has agreed to have all the baby stuff in his suitcase. This is a…
