I'm Erin Jo. I'm thinking, writing, dreaming, mothering, loving, living, praising, BLESSED to be Fiona to my Shrek and Mommy to my four amazing kiddos.

Shrek is "like an onion with many layers" but has a heart of gold. He's my husband and my friend, and we just get better all the time.

Lily is my first baby and only girl. She's smart, funny, tall and kind. Keeping up with this girl is a challenge and a joy. She's terrific!

Max is one part ogre, two parts lover and all boy! Our little man has a temper but gives the best hugs of anyone I know!

Colby is as ornery as he looks. He flirts shamelessly, even with strangers. He's all mouth and curls and the loudest by far.

Luke is the baby of the family, but holds his own. He's happy and adorable. And he's a terrible sleeper. =)

We’re Back!

Lily is taking first grade right in stride, just as I knew she would. This little fashionista is her mother’s daughter, though, I promise you, I didn’t have NEARLY the fashion sense she does at age six.

Anyway, she jumped out of bed yesterday and rushed off to meet the rest of her life. These cute little brothers tagged along to the bus stop. WARNING: Possibly the sweetest photo in the world ahead!

We waited forever for the bus to come, but the kids were good!

I’m also back to life. I was down for four days with such a killer headache! I’ve been diagnosed with sinusitis, and the sinuses still don’t seem to be draining. I’m not complaining though, because the headache has finally died down.

I’m 16 weeks pregnant today. Here’s a photo to show you all that Baby #4 might just show a bit earlier and larger than you might expect!

I still look a little rough around the eyes, but I, for one, am just amazed that I managed a full day of work and then, of course, a full evening of dealing with the kids all by myself. I think I’ll stop there, ’cause remember? I’m trying not to complain!

“In spite of all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.”
From my favorite poem, “Desiderata”
