Ian and I visited one of our favorite places again yesterday: Rock City.  We started the day with an early drive to Chattanooga (with Biscuit in tow; thanks Dottie!), to meet up with Ian’s Nana and Aunt Joy.  Our first … Continue reading →

Putting All Our Eggs in More Than One Basket

Posted on 04/21/2014 by ashleekiser

We celebrated Easter week (as opposed to Easter day) this year.  It began Tuesday evening with Tabitha stuffing stickers in plastic eggs as per the preschool’s instructions.  I probably should have finished stuffing the eggs on Wednesday, but alas, I waited … Continue reading →

Posted on 11/06/2013 by ashleekiser
