Dewberry Farms

A couple of weeks ago we took the kids to Dewberry Farms to celebrate Nona J's birthday. How cool is a grandma that wants to celebrate her birthday by taking the boys to a farm!?!?
The kids had a blast riding a hay ride to the pumpkin patch, playing in a mountain of hay, and tackling a very tall slide with dad, plus they got to hang with Nona J and Papaw for the day.
Here a just a few pics from our day.

Donut dates

Last month we started a new tradition and I think it is one of my favorites. Every Friday morning I get to just take ONE (huge treat for me!) of the twins on a donut date for breakfast while the other boys hang at home with dad for "man time." The twins really call it man time so I rarely inquire as to what they really do, although when I get home it always seems relatively harmless.
One on one time with the twins has always been so hard for us to figure out. What I'm discovering though is that just like anything else we have to be intentional and purposeful, all of which takes work and communication. However, even with crazy schedules it can be done. I'm so grateful for these "dates" with my boys.
