The other day I noticed Jonah looking sad, working on his letters. I asked him what was up and he quietly said, “I’m not good at letters, I don’t like them.” Well, that’s not going to work, learning is supposed to be fun. So we put our shoes on, put Zachary in the stroller and headed out to soak up some nature on a walk. I told him we were going to make letters fun again! We scoured our campground for items we could make in to letters. And he LOVED it. Once we collected a bunch of items, he couldn’t wait to lay them all out and spell his name. […]

Fishing at Stone Mountain

I took the kids for a walk down to the fishing dock across from Stone Mountain. The view and the sunset were gorgeous, but I only had my phone camera on me at the time. We took advantage and went back on the last sunny day in the forecast for awhile with my real camera. And I am so glad we did.

I’m pretty sure Jonah was marching away to grab a stick. For real, Jonah finds sticks everywhere. We were in an empty parking lot the other day and somehow that boy found a stick with no trees and nothing around us. Jude is right, sticks find Jonah. At the end of […]

Atop Stone Mountain

Oh boy! This one gave me a run for my money today. He decided to run over and push the emergency button on top of Stone Mountain 😳 This included loud sirens, bells, flashing lights and a rushing emergency crew. Y’all. I cannot even. Then later in the day, after many conversations about why we don’t push those buttons sans emergency, he pushed the emergency button in the elevator at the MLK Center. Yes, Jonah is living his best life.

ps: this photo looks a bit scary, but he’s totally safe. The top is expansive and fenced in. There is not a drop off directly behind him 😊

Covered Bridge

He loves covered bridges almost as much as I do.

When day breaks

It’s definitely not my favorite thing to arrive at a new campground after dark. But it is my favorite thing to watch these boys wake up and discover a new beautiful view from their bed when day breaks. They love the surprise when it’s this beautiful. If we land next to the camp bathroom, not so much.

Winter weather is kicking out butts

Today was a day. We left Alabama fairly early (for us). But it took us forever to find a gas station we could fit in to, then we had to stop to feed Z, then I got sick so we had to stop again. I felt awful, I thought I was going to pass out getting out of the truck heading to the RV after I begged Jason to pull over. I rallied after getting sick, took some bentonite clay I had tucked away and 30 minutes later I was good as new. But then we had to stop again because Z hates being in the car seat past 4:30 pm and […]
