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. =)

Finding His Voice

Luke is on to us. He now knows all about getting his picture taken. Anytime we whip out a camera, real or fake, he freezes his expression into this cheesy little grin. This means two things: 1) Luke is very smart to have figured out the camera thing in light of the limited time he […]

The Forest

Colby and his buddy Brooklyn enjoy some downtime. Earlier tonight I was feeling like the worst mother ever. I was home for less than an hour between working late and heading off to a league volleyball game. None of the kids were happy to see me go, especially Miss Lily, who was told weeks ago […]

Summer State of Mind

I’m not the kind of person that can come home to a messy house after work and flop onto the porch swing. I leave this house nearly everyday in a blaze of glory. That is to say, if I can get most of what we need, my four kids and myself out the door, I […]

Sweet Summertime

We’re still quite worn out from the weekend, so here are a couple of snaps and updates of the kiddos to keep you company until Momma finds her words…. Our girl finished up school today! She was named one of first grade’s star students AND the best “girl citizen” in her class! We are so […]
