We were recently blessed with another beautiful niece! Little Miss Fia made her debut on June 24 – 6 lbs, 11 oz of pure sweetness sent straight from heaven. We’ve loved her to pieces from the moment we met her! She is already the best little snuggle bug! I knitted this cozy sleep sack for […]

In my last post I mentioned that we were planning a little getaway to celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary. Every year we try to visit someplace we’ve never been and kept hearing wonderful things about Charleston, South Carolina, so we decided it was time to check it out for ourselves. I’m so glad we did!

This weekend marks six years of holy matrimony for us! Instead of exchanging gifts, we have a tradition of celebrating our wedding anniversary by taking a trip to a place we’ve never been.

Well, this pretty much sums up our weekend: It’s really too bad that our pups lead such a tough, miserable existence! Clearly they don’t get to have any fun at all.
