memorial day happenings

It’s a tradition – every year on Memorial Day we go camping. The past two years we’ve gone to Magnolia Springs, a campsite south of Augusta, Georgia that we actually like very much. This year, we talked about camping. It’s hard to find a good campground for us because most want you to check in on Friday, but we can’t get there until Saturday (because of Paul working). Hence, why we’ve gone to Magnolia Springs two years in a row….

I’ve been wanting to write about our California trip that we took last February. Hopefully, I still remember it! :-) I was 9 weeks pregnant at the time.

naming the baby

naming the baby

I know you want this. :-) We’re not going to announce the name until the birth of our baby, but in the meantime I wanted to share our current options. Because it’s fun to help friends pick out baby names, I think! Here are the stipulations: 1. In general, I love multi-syllable names and dislike one-syllable names. However, I’m sensitive to the fact that our last name is 3 syllables long, so I want to make sure the name doesn’t…
