While we've been busy with the kids over the last year, we've had some time to really think about intentions. Taking the kids out of preschool, no extracurricular activities and no MOMS club has given us the time together that we really needed to get back to the basics. We still have lots of decluttering to do- too many toys and THINGS- in our house, but we're getting there. We finally made our first day trip to Charleston with the kids. We haven't been there since Michael was 6 months old, and Charleston is a special place for Kevin and me. We got engaged in The Battery, spent weekends there several times before we had children. Now our memories of The Battery are filled with the boys chasing birds, watching Ruth crawl around on the grass, Michael and Anna walking round and round a tree, and laughing about the squirrel that got away with James' fruit snack. We even had an educational moment when Anna found some egg shells under a tree. We loved sharing our special place with the amazing blessings that God has given us. Here are just a few pics from our trip Memorial Day weekend.
