About Me

Why a simple kind of life? Well, thats what my husband and I are trying to instill in our family. We are Christians and living a simple life is what God wants for us. I say trying because that is what we are doing. We need to keep that in the forefront of our minds as we go through all the crazy yet unforgettable days a family of four goes through. Life is very busy with a smart and inquisitive four yearold, active, curious, funny 2 1/2 year old and a new baby. As teachers, we enjoy our summers off with our children spending time at the beach, boating or just in our backyard relaxing. We know what and Who is important in this life, but we also can admit that we do enjoy things that don’t really matter like reality TV, good food and my weakness, shopping. All in all its all about balance and keeping God first.

All good things must come to an end.


What a summer we had together as a family.  We went on our first family vacation to Block Island.  We spent time in Old Saybrook at my dad's boat and at the beach.  We took a day trip to Mystic which was a huge hit with Layna.  TJ built a deck.  I repainted/ decorated my living room.  Layna started talking like a mad woman, now she won't stop.  She loves the water.....she is definitely a beach bum.  She loves to be outside, playing on the jungle gym, playing at the park or going on walks with mom.  Layna is a trip....the things she says are hilarious!  She is a lot of fun to be around.

 Hunter has grown so much.  He is reaching for things, moving around on his belly, rocking on all fours, jumping in the jumper and standing when we hold his hands.  Hunter is so laid back......Layna definitely makes up for it!  


 I just love this little man so much!



TJ and I enjoyed our time at Block Island riding waves like we were 10 again!

 We are all excited for school to start but a bit sad to see our summer end.  It was so nice spending time as a family.
