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. =)

Courage, Serenity and Wisdom

January 22nd, 2011


Another snow day… We finally escaped the house tonight for a trip to the mall for dinner and so the kids could play in the new play area. And, of course, another necessity trip to Wal-Mart. (It’s always something!)

I have a lot of friends, mostly fellow mothers, who are sick of the snow. I’m in a tempered state of acceptance right now in my life, where I don’t really allow myself to will anything away. Maybe it’s the whole “waiting-on-a-baby” mode I’m in: I’m trying to be patient, ready and serene so that when it’s my time, I’ll be strong and in the moment.

So… I’m trying to keep my sanity, keep my voice down, keep my chicks happy and calm. I’m in the limbo of feeling done with something and yet knowing I should soak up its finality.

Here are some snaps of how we spend our snow days.





Oh, and here’s a shot of Colby and his lookalike cousin, Brooklyn Jane, who–if God doesn’t decide otherwise–will graciously share her birthday, 1/27, with my last babe.


Thanks, sweetie!!
