Corn Maze.

A couple of weekends ago, we met my dad and family for lunch, then took the little ones to a farm nearby where there were pumpkins, a hay ride, corn maze, and other fun for the kids. This cow ride was a favorite! Even a few of the adults rode it...and had so much fun! I was at the front of the line of cows, bumping along, trying to take a few pictures. I got a good laugh out of Ethan's expression during the ride. Gracie had a great time. She was waving and asking everyone what our cows names were. The weather ended up being perfect for an afternoon spent outside and it was really nice to be together as a family. It is not always easy to pull all of us together like this.


I'm convinced that the grown-ups had just as much fun as the kids.


Baby Marshall slept most of the afternoon, and stayed nice and snug against his daddy. :)


We rode a hay ride together and went through a mini corn maze. There were also these big corn bins (filled with kernels of corn!) that we could sit in. I am still finding corn around our house!

    Ooooh, I know that farm! We were supposed to go there for a MOPS get together last month but got rained out :( I'll have to make it a fall priority next year!

    That looks like a great place to take the kids, you'll have to tell me where that's located! I am so glad you got to spend time together as a family, so rare and so important!

Decisions, Decisions...

...but I think I've made up my mind. I've been going back and forth, back and forth, practically since I started blogging 3 years ago: Public or Private blog? I've decided that since I share quite a bit about my family, and share lots of pictures of my children (some watermarked, most not), These Little Moments will now be a private blog. I've never felt comfortable with the fact that there are literally hundreds of photos of my daughter, our family members, and now my son posted on the Internet for anyone and everyone to see. For those of you who would like to continue keeping up with Gracie, Ethan, and our family, let me know! I will send you an invitation to the private blog. I'll still be following along with your blogs, just not publishing publicly on my own anymore. I'm going to go ahead and make the switch at the end of the week. And to those who I know are following along... Just expect an invitation! :)

The end is near.

My husband is confident. He's determined, speaks his mind, and lives for a challenge. If you tell him something cannot be done, be prepared to be proven wrong. I rarely see him get nervous, for any reason... almost. My 38-week appointment was this morning. As usual, Sean and Gracie were with me, which I love. I was anxious to get to this appointment because I started having uncomfortable cramping yesterday evening, which then lasted through the night and even into the morning. I've experienced a few other "preliminary signs" of labor which have led me to believe that we're coming up on the end here. After talking with the doctor, he offered to check my progress and strip my membranes. This is when I got a little tickled, even as I was sitting on an exam table naked from the waist down, with nothing but a paper sheet wrapped around me. As the doctor began to describe the "stripping of the membranes" process, I had my eyes on Sean. His expressions were...

Hilton Head.

I was feeling heavy. Overwhelmed. Tired. The combination of sick children, sleep deprivation, and very little "me" time was starting to push me down a bit. I don't like feeling that way. I want to wake up with a smile on my face. I want to feel motivated and light . Our Hilton Head vacation arrived at the perfect time. Packing was a nightmare, but once our car hit the highway, I felt it... Freedom . It didn't matter that I was taking a sick child along, or that I was still going to be sleep deprived. Those things are easier to handle when you get a change in scenery, especially when that scenery becomes blue skies and an endless ocean. As we do each year in January, we joined Sean's dad and step-mom for a winter get-away. The weather was kind to us this year. Gracie loves the beach. She runs, and runs, and digs, and even plops down long enough to enjoy the change of scenery for herself. Ethan was unsure of the cool sand, but even he seemed to appreciate the fres...
