Nash’s drawing of me…his mom. I’m looking a little wide. Might need to hit the gym a little harder this week. 
Nash’s teacher at the Mother’s Morning Out program he attends, did an interview with each child about their mom. I particularly like his answer to question #5. I guess this kid really knows me well!
I love being a mom. I love my kids. I love my life.
GRATEFUL.
I love my globetrotting man…
Hurry home, babe!
Oh the adventures and stories! I’m grateful I get to do life with such an amazing man.

The kids and I are spending the week in West Virginia visting my family while Bryson hops around Africa. My sister Olivia and her 3 little people also joined us for a few days. As usual, it has been pure chaos and pure fun. Nash and Xavier are inseparable! Meyer is happy as usual. Isaish has such red hair, I’m not sure where he came from. Charis is such a little mama. And Evyn is full of silliness as usual. Such fun days! Warning…I love taking pictures of these little people when they are all together, so there are A LOT of pictures!

This one makes me laugh! Poor baby Isaiah!
Meyer loves running in the yard! She stayed up 2 hours past her bedtime last night just running around and rolling in the grass.
Nash and Xavier wrestling and playing. Such boys!

Baby Isaiah and Livvy…
Excellent running form, Nash.
Such a sweet face!
Girls.
Playing and running in the yard. JOY!
Laughter is good for the soul.
Baby Isaiah…check out that RED hair!!
Relaxing and eating s’mores
My favorite picture of the trip! The boys and their “adventure backpacks”. #memories.
Evyn has the look
Evyn loved celebrating her little friend Hadley at a princess party. The girls were adorable!

Evynn and sweet Nora
Little girls are so much fun…lots of drama…but so much fun!
We had a fabulous family day at Stone Mountain this weekend. You wouldn’t know it by this picture, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. It was surprisingly fun!
silliness with daddy
more silliness
look...some smiles!
Meyer's mantra: "Everything is better with a snack in hand."
We even took in a 4-D movie. Nash loved it. Evyn hated it but looked good her in glasses. Meyer at a whole bag of popcorn by herself.
Here is a beautiful video that Bryson helped create to say THANK YOU to all the students from Passion for giving $3.3 Million to fund projects fighting slavery around the globe. It is really powerful! Check it out and make sure you have a tissue handy…
