It's Been Awhile....

So as we've begun a new year, it's hard to believe that it's 2015, we've made some "resolutions" so to speak. One being that I keep up with the family blog. Before children 3 and 4 came into the picture I would say I had a lot more time to blog about our lives. Now, I have much less time and much more to blog about. 

We have  started school up again and it's a huge relief. We thrive on routine in this household. Bray is doing great and she loves to do school from home everyday. She has also developed a love for reading, she's on the 4th Harry Potter book now! Praise GOD! I know kids who struggle with this and I'm so thankful that she loves to read and it comes easily for her. I'm sure we'll have a couple who will struggle in this. 

We are now on week 19 of baby number 5's pregnancy! It's going GREAT so far.......knock on some wood. The kids are so excited to find out whether it will be a boy or girl. Sorry in advanced if it's a girl, we're all pulling for a BOY!

It feels as though Christmas came and went in the blink of an eye, and as it did the hubs and I realized that time is going by way too fast for our liking. So we want to slow down and breathe in every little moment of the day and enjoy the kids at this age, we won't get these days back! So here's some pictures of moments that have been happening in our lives!

At the Williams, the longest they've all sat still!

Watching the Williams home movies, it was silent for about an hour!

And our first adventure in the snow this year! 






They all love breakfast! Powdered Sugar donuts are a fav and a rarity!



This is how Raleigh likes to sit while I'm doing anything in the kitchen.


Helping bake a chocolate cake!

Our table setter! She loves to do this!

Beach Trip 2014 Part Two

There were absolutely too many cute pictures for me to choose from, so I decided to put them into a couple different posts. 

This was the view from the deck at the house we stayed in!
                                      








Taking the ferry to Southport!

We got to see the house from Safe Haven and where the store once stood!




I may have done a poor job at applying sunscreen to Andy's back.....










Beach Trip 2014 Part One

So way back in June.....we went to Wrightsville Beach, NC! It was an amazing experience and we got to spend some much needed quality time with each other and all of Andy's moms side of the family. We mostly spent time in the sand and water.....but we did tour downtown Wilmington and drove around the city a bit.  Probably one of our favorite highlights from the trip was going to Southport, which is about 40 minutes south of Wilmington. It was a quaint little southern town! Just what we needed!
