National Anthem

Lining up for the National Anthem before a baseball game will always be one of my favorite things!

Cribs: Hines Edition

Daddy & David put together Landon's crib last night. Now he will be ready to "upgrade" from the bassinet in our room to his own room!

Family Fun

Tyler is heading off for a week at Camp Grandparents, so we took a night out for dinner and putt putt and some overall family fun! the boys are definitely ready for golf camp after this competitive game of mini golf!

Baby Bump

I haven't taken or posted too many pics with my "baby bump" (in keeping with my last pregnancy as well), but this one has been requested. This is me, technically I guess that would be "us", at 36.5 weeks along.

Looks like the Tooth Fairy needs to visit

Grand Opening

The new Jackson County Library Complex opened last weekend in the historic courthouse, so I finally got over there today. Gorgeous! Not to mention, they had the newest James Patterson book that I have been wanting to read. Yay!

What else would I be doing at 2:30 AM on a school night?

Massive storms ripped through Western NC on Wednesday night, and the aftermath is reminiscent of hurricanes down east. We are going on 36 hours with no power. At this point, I am thankful that Landon hasn't come yet because this would be way crazier with a newborn. But, of course, my runaway brain is up in the middle of the night and there's no mindless dribble to turn to tonight. Hoping a book will calm my crazy head... And my flashlight stays lit!

Summer Begins!

Special Baby Gift

We received this special piggy bank today from a co-worker and parent of a child in my class this year. The decorations on the bank are in the Cherokee Syllabary. What a beautiful way to symbolize our new life here!
