Mother’s Day

May 11, 2015 by Aliesha

One thing I always treasure is photos with my children… not just of them!  Tad took these photos of us before church yesterday morning.

Easter and Catching Up

April 13, 2015 by Aliesha

So here’s the deal.  We had an amazing Easter weekend (including a church pig pickin’ on Saturday), worshiping at church on Sunday and celebrating Christ’s resurrection, then celebrating with friends over a large Easter feast (having friends over = MY FAVORITE), and then enjoying the glorious weather on a family walk.  928786_438128589694635_760451395_n

BUT… late in the night Sunday, we were struck by a stomach virus.  We went down like dominoes over the next few days, with only one member of our family being spared.  Last week was a blur of cleaning up after sick people, being sick, and once again, cleaning up after sick people.  Whew.  We were SO grateful for that bug to leave our house!!  On the plus side, I didn’t have to cook dinner all week, unless saltine crackers count as a meal.11116655_1582075318699257_657063604_n

After digging my way out of the piles of laundry, I was able to get away for the weekend with some awesome girlfriends from church!  We were celebrating Katie’s (below, blonde hair) 30th birthday, and it was such a fun, relaxing time away (especially after the crazy week!).  DSC_0767copysm The lady at the hotel front desk thought we were in college, so that made all of us mamas feel pretttttty darn good.  20926_741450400949_4747076885580558153_n

I think that mostly brings you up to speed on things… but I definitely plan to get back to blogging again!  Sorry for the hiatus last week.  I want to share my peach cobbler recipe as well as a pregnancy update, so watch for those later this week!
