A Beautiful Sunday Afternoon
After church on Sunday, we loaded up the family on our golf cart and headed to Vespa, one of our favorite restaurants on DI. The weather was perfect and we sat out on the patio. Vespa is owned by island residents and the food is spectacular. If you make it there, ask for Kevin — […]
Snow in Charleston!
During the late afternoon yesterday, it started snowing! The excitement in Charleston was palpable. Schools let out early and everyone was talking about the weather. I had to go pick up my laptop from Jason Charles, the Daniel Island Computer Doctor, and had so much fun bundling up and walking through the snowflakes. I thought […]
Class Parties
I keep asking myself why I signed up to help with both boys’ Valentine’s Day Parties this year. And I’m still trying to figure out how they ended up on two different days??! I really did plan to do all the shopping early this year. It was on my list at the end of […]
Clean Teeth!
I took my five-year old son, Davis, to the dentist yesterday morning to get his teeth cleaned and checked. I have been dreading this visit since Davis isn’t really into doctors, dentists, etc. Surprisingly, he did a WONDERFUL job! Carrie (our favorite hygienist) kept him entertained with a constant stream of questions and praise for […]

Sunshine!
I’m so excited! It’s a beautiful day today and the sun is shining. I’m at the office getting caught up on a few things and this is the view from my office window: When I left home, Davis asked me to take a photo of him and Miles. He was in a great mood today! […]
Proverbs 14:4 ~ What??!
Well…. I’ve been praying for contentment lately and this is what I got: Where there are no oxen, the stall is clean. But much is to be gained by the strength of an ox. Proverbs 14:4 What??? I sat there and stared at the verse wondering why God chose to share this with me (and […]
I needed that!
Why is it that sometimes life seems like it is speeding past us like a freight train? For days now, I have had the feeling that I am running a race and can’t slow down. In my (albeit abbreviated) morning quiet times this week, I’ve asked God to help me to enjoy being in the moment. To […]
It’s hard to say good-bye
We said our final good-byes to Travis (Chad’s brother), Amy, Lilli, Patton and Aidan yesterday afternoon. As I mentioned before, they are leaving for Uganda where they will serve as missionaries in the village of Bundibugyo. The cousins had a very sweet time together. We met at Lake Keowee (where Amy’s parents havea condo on […]
