The other day, I asked Izzy how long she thought she would live. She responded with “600 years.” I told her that I didn’t think anyone had ever lived that long, to which she responded – “Yea but you don’t die in heaven, so I’ll be at least 600 years Read more…
Today I was off for Juneteenth, so we went to Emerald Isle on the point, just Anna, me, and the kids. It was a great day despite me battling a sinus infection. Izzy and I played in the water and she learned how to go under the waves. We all Read more…
My sister Angie got married this past weekend, or as Izzy and Joe call her, Aunt G. She married Uncle Luke in Pine Knoll Shores, and I think the wedding weekend went exactly how the two of them wanted it to. Izzy was the flower girl, and she was stunning. Read more…
I’m late on this post, but we had Izzy’s birthday party 2 weeks ago. She invited the girls in her class and a bunch of family friends, and Anna had activities galore. The kids stuffed puppies (it was Paw Patrol themed), went on the swing, played pass the parcel (Anna Read more…

Izzy has taken flight, on her bike that is. We went from not wanting to try, to maybe trying briefly once or twice, to last Friday she was able to ride her bike from our house to Seth’s. It took a little bit of falling, but she got the hang Read more…
