Sweet Surprise...

Jack & I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on 1-28-10. One of my surprises was homemade chocolate covered strawberries. This is my absolute favorite treat! He has been making these for me since we first started dating. I can not get enough them! This craze with this devilish little snack started way back when I was a teeny-bopper. My friends and I used to hang out in Ocean City, MD on the boards in the summer. I would always have to make a stop into Candy Kitchen for some chocolate covered strawberries. It really is heaven when you bite into them! What a good idea to make for your honey for Valentine's Day! It is really simple...get some chocolate and melt it...dip your berry into the chocolate and place on sheet of plastic cooking paper and let cool in fridge until chocolate hardens. Give it a whirl!

Baby boy...

My Daddy...My Hero....

Logan visited his daddy at work for the first time. I have never been so proud seeing my baby boy in the arms of my one true love in his uniform. Logan won't remember this trip to the base but one day he will understand what his daddy does to help serve the United States. The boat behind Jack and Logan is the Kennebec. This is the boat Jack was on from 2006-2009. This sucker is huge and Jack used to operate this thing!

Farewell...

Logan and I went to lunch with a very old friend of mine not to long ago. Her name is Christie and I have know her since the good Lord made the earth. Not that long ago of course but it seems like it. Christie is now living in paradise...Hawaii! She is soaking up the sun and having some fun there! I am very happy for her and hope the Lord blesses her there. This was also the first time she met my baby boy too! We had fun Christie and we miss you!

House Warming....

The three of us just went to my friend's house warming party. This is Catherine and Russell's first house together! This is such an exciting time for them. I remember when Jack and I got our first home together as well. They have done a fabulous job with their place! I am so happy for the two of them! It was great to see Catherine's mom, Pat, and Catherine's sister, Sarah! We had a nice time!

Maryland...

Cute...We were twins and didn't plan it....(My shoes look really sweet with this outfit...haha)

We are holding our own toys now...

A little blurry but still sweet...I think she was saying, "Cheese Aunt KK"....or maybe, "Hola!'...

I was home visiting my family last week in Maryland. From the short time we were there we were able to squeeze in a lot and see lots a people. Here are some pictures from that trip. More pictures coming soon!

Logan's First SNOW...

Winter Wonderland...

Blanket of snow....Here are some pictures of the beautiful blanket of snow at my parent's house in Maryland! We were visiting when the snow decided to make it's debut. For Logan's first snow..it sure was a BIG SNOW! I did not take him out to play in this winter wonderland while in Maryland. He was also experiencing his first cold too. He had been sneezing and coughing and his little nose was very runny! We managed the storm there and came back home to Virginia to discover more snow at our house too! My Uncle Don had to come plow my parent's driveway twice...bless his heart. Mom and I never shoveled so much snow before in our lives. My dad is still recovering from his back surgery so he had to watch from the window. He usually is the one to take care of everything. He will be back to it in no time! I also lit their woodstove for the first time in my life while I was there. I always watched my dad do this and he made it look pretty easy. I never knew the work that went into loading up the wood, cleaning out the stove, and all the other stuff that goes with it too! Tobey and Skyler blended in with the snow and at times it was hard to find them when I let them outside. I had to carry Skyler to an area where the snow was cleared. Otherwise it would have gone way over his head. The snow went up to Tobey's neck but this is his kind of weather and he was LOVING the snow. It was hard to get him to come inside. If I learned anything while I was home this time I know I will never look at a snow shovel or firewood in the same way again!
