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. =)

A Break in the Weather

Perhaps one of the only good things about not blogging often is that I have an abundance of cute photos to use when I do. These photos are from Sunday, just three short days ago, when it was warm enough here in southeastern Ohio for short sleeves, bike rides and a walk hand in hand […]

An old snap of Lily, who is more excited about the snow than I am! Dude, why is it always 11 p.m.? Not really, but I can’t seem to stop at night. I’m always doing “one more thing,” no matter what time of year it is and what day it is. I had an amazingly […]

I’m rocking comfortably in a pleasant, thoughtful, light-hearted mood. I’m thankful for some perspective I’ve gained in the past […]

Sweet Rewards

A typical pre-bedtime scene at the Roberts house… Big kids sipping on berry banana smoothies and Daddy trying to get a smile out of the baby. Ah, a Smirnoff after the kids are in bed after a long day. This is my reward…. Oh, and the clean, shiny freshly-bathed kids, of course! I love this […]

Warning: Big Weekend Ahead

Colby passed out in a precarious position on the loveseat after a long morning of yard sales and cleaning the house. Meanwhile, the other two kids were proud to show off their yard sale finds….We’ve got a very special friend campfire to enjoy tonight, a wedding that will be gorgeous, fun and kid-free tomorrow and […]

Quiet on the Mind Front

So I feel a little bit like Lil looks in the photo above. I guess I’m a little burnt out on blogging right now, but I’m feeling pretty peaceful and comfortable in general. I’m gaining weight, or at least gaining a belly. I tell ya, the fourth shows quickly. I’m bidding farewell to the first […]
