With Boone, I had an out of no where “surprise!  you are having your baby today” experience via c-section at 36 weeks and 5 days. His full birth story can be found here. With Crew, I went into labor one day past my due date after having my membranes stripped that morning and delivered her […]

He’s here. Our sweet baby Grey Adam Schultz was born on Sunday – January 3rd at 7:25pm. He was 8 lbs., 12 oz. and was 22 inches long. And goodness, do we love him. It’s crazy to love someone so immediately and so deeply even after having just met them. So far, things seem to […]

Today. 39 weeks. One week out at most from delivery. Feeling so very, very grateful that God has allowed me the privilege to grow another baby and that He has kept us both safe through this pregnancy. And I’m so glad that all things work and life are caught up enough so that I can take a […]

Y’all remember, Mary Jane?  Maybe not, as I don’t think I have blogged about her…only Instagrammed.  Allow me to introduce you to sweet Mary Jane.  🙂 Mary Jane came into our lives this past January after I saw her story posted on the Halfway There Rescue Facebook Page.  She had broken free from the pen she […]

This past Friday we ventured to Sky Top Orchard in Flat Rock, NC for some apple picking. This is our third year going (see 2013 here and 2014 here) and has become an outing that our family has really come to look forward to. This year’s trip was met with more toddler breakdowns than usual, but […]

Before we parted ways and headed back home from Grandview Vacay 2015, we couldn’t resist doing some super mini mini-sessions for each other. Toni and Chris are expecting their first baby (a boy!) this January.  Nancy and Will welcomed their first baby (Milly!) at the end of May.  Sweetest and cutest little family. And thank […]

Grandview Vacay. Year Two! Last year’s weekend getaway with our friends Nancy + Will and Toni + Chris was so much fun that we decided to make it happen again this year. This time around, we ventured to West Jefferson, NC and brought three extra little people along with us…Nancy and Will’s sweet girl, Milly, […]

  Geoff, Boone and I were out for a walk around our neighborhood two nights ago when Boone said, “Mama…Daddy…you’re my best friends”.  Goodness, do I love this little sheep. I’m so grateful for these past five years.  Happy Birthday, Boone!  Be sure to check out his “year five” video that Geoff made for him.  🙂 […]

How can it be that our sweet girl is already TWO?!  This past Saturday morning – Valentine’s Day…her birthday – she awoke with the surprise of pink balloons in her room and exclaimed, “Balloons! For me!”. We had the best day with her.  A special Valentine’s breakfast at home, dressing her in her “party dress” […]

  “Just standing, sometimes, is a sign of strength.”  – Pastor Steven Furtick   These were some of the opening words of the most recent sermon of the series How To Be Brave at our church.  I think it no coincidence that the timing of this series is unfolding at a time that I most […]
