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. =)

Standing on the Cusp


I had my maternity photos taken by the lovely and talented Kristin Pottmeyer on Saturday and have just received the above “sneak peek.” It was a bit cold and a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to see the rest.

I’m on the cusp of giving birth to my final child, and all is well. I’m peaceful and happy. I’m feeling pretty good.

Today is another day home with the kids. I’ve got some laundry and dishes to do, as always, but I think I’m just crazy enough to get out my scrapbooking mess and make one last attempt to catch up before the baby arrives. I won’t actually catch up, but it’s a good thing to get closer to the goal.

And for today, that sounds like a good plan: get closer to the goal. Contract and release and continue to send up prayers for a healthy baby and a blessed birth experience.

And, also, to tell the kids about MLK, Jr. and his beautiful dream.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

    Great picture, I can't wait to see the rest. I know they are going to be awesome. Good, no, great for you that you will tell your kids about M. King, more parents should do that instead of them merely having a day off of school. You are budding great poeple of your little lambs. I know they are going to have the same great insight and compassion as their mother for others. Love you Patti
