Lessons in Motherhood

Tuesday was always planned as Magic Kingdom day, but there were quite a few hesitations when the weather called for severe thunderstorms for a three hour block of time. Still, we thought “how bad could thunderstorms be in Florida.” So, off we went to the park.
When we arrived around 9:30am, the [...]

Sorry for the lack of blogs during vacation, but it was a whirlwind trip (even though it was 7 days). I spent most of the trip being completely exhausted so I didn’t write. I’m really regretting that now because no one, not even me, wants to read a 100,000 word essay on what [...]

We are now exactly six hours into what should have been a 7 hour trip, but we just hit the Florida line. That is how bad the traffic has been. Luckily, Sophia has slept for all of 20 minutes, so that’s been awesome too. Why didn’t we fly again?

Anyway, I’ve been entertaining [...]

We were in Denver over the weekend to visit Luke’s Mom and Aunt’s family. It was lots of fun, and there’s quite a few highlights, but I’m very tired. Did I mention that we just got home late last night. So, I’m going to throw up a few pictures and beg forgiveness [...]

Walking with Sophia is like walking with an ADD squirrel. She bounces from one direction to another with no particular destination in mind. Then, she stops ten times to pick up tree parts on the ground and taste them, of course. Shockingly, Hailey has nothing but patience for her sister and will gladly chase [...]

Hailey and Sophia visited their first amusement park on Saturday. I was really surprised at how much there was for them to do. There were tons of kids rides and a water area where they could play. Hailey had an amazing time with her new friend, Kaitlyn.
But, this photo just [...]

Weekends at the Hamilton household are exhausting. I don’t know why that’s the case, but it’s nonstop movement. I blame Sophia because she’s the most nonstop of all of us. Even when we have no plans, I feel like we end up doing so much. This weekend we had a birthday [...]

On Saturday morning, the Hamilton clan visited Southern Belle Farms in McDonough, GA. It was quite a thrill for Hailey who has been studying farms at school. It was quite a thrill for Sophia because there was an endless supply of strawberries. I honestly cannot tell you how many she ate while [...]

I spent 7 hours in the car with an infant and a chatter-box 3-year-old in the past 3 days.  The least I could get out of it is a few decent pictures.  Of course, there are more, but the rest require some editing.  I know, my children need no editing; they are perfect just the [...]

It will probably come as no surprise to you that my husband is a little bit of a Geek. He’s kind of on the low end of the Geek spectrum, but he qualifies for many reasons. I won’t run through them here because most of you know him enough to not question me [...]
