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 […]

"Mink" Farewell

Where have all the binkies gone? Please don’t tell Colby, but they’re hiding in a bowl on the kitchen counter. It’s amazing how many we have accumulated over the years. Because Luke is not a fan, this is goodbye–one of our first true finales of the baby days. I’m not sad at all that Colby […]

Wine a Bit

My life right now is one to-do list after another. I’m preparing for a trip to Denver and three special events at work. I’m up to my eyes in details and trying to fit so many tasks into the matrix. All of this, along with my life, is incredibly overwhelming. But I’m hanging in. My […]

Goodnight Blues

Sometimes you just can’t get a good picture…. Wow, am I feeling low tonight… I had hoped to title this post a little more positively – maybe after a glass of wine – but then that last thing happened, and it all went to hell. I am so tired of trying to do it all. […]

The Cowboy in Me

I am indeed aware that I haven’t posted in nearly a week. It’s hot, my laptop is on the fritz, I’m busy, blah, blah, blah. Mostly, I’m feeling quiet. Actually, I think I’m making myself feel quiet so I don’t spout a whole bunch of negativity. It’s cyclical for me, these times of introspection. I […]

When Life Gives You Mud

…make mud pies. So. I’m back to work. Life is different, for sure, but we’re okay. But I must admit, I am a bit grumpy tonight. Most of the first day back at work was fueled by adrenaline. It was almost fun. I over-prepared. There were organized piles all over my house, ready for packing, […]

Tonight I’m Almost Ready

Lucas, looking a “widdle bit wuwwied” about momma’s return to work… It’s a work night. That’s right, kids. Tomorrow, momma heads back to work. I’m feeling pretty confident, seeing as how God gave all six of the Roberts a cold for the occasion. Wow. They say He won’t give us more than we can handle, […]

My Ship is Sailing Into the Sunset

Wow. Am I ever tired. This is going to be a lame post, so here’s a recent photo of my reasons to get you through it! I have had a couple busy, productive weeks at work. A huge press conference today was the climax, and I’m pleased to say it went very, very well. Yea, […]
