I moved to Small House in the second half of 2009 with my daughter, Maggie. Here we are in the fall of 2011, right around the time I started this blog:
and more recently (Easter ’14) with my oldest boy T.C, and my mother and stepdad! 🙂
T.C. lives in an apt. in Boston with my middle son, Jack but they visit us quite often! This slideshow features their April/May 2012 vacations. 🙂
Here are the most recent solo shots of both boys, starting with Jack in January of 2014 when he visited for his birthday!!
I love this last pic of TC from his Easter Visit. 🙂 We were teasing him about his “Presidential” haircut! 🙂 T.C. is a an A/V tech guy by day and Musician by night. I added my all time favorite song of his, “Spiral” to an audio widget in the sidebar. Click it to be impressed. 🙂
In the past few years Maggie has achieved some remarkable milestones:
She got engaged to Seamus, a fine your man from Ireland who she met in a Chinese studies class they each added to their schedules (at the very last minute!) when other electives were full…How crazy is that?
In May ’14, she graduated from the Honors College at the Univ of Central Florida with a 4yr degree in Social Work! I’m waiting on her professional cap and gown photo, so for now, here’s a pic I took when she got her medallion at the Honors Banquet.
Jack is visiting again in June, so I’ll update again in a few short weeks!
Until next time…..

Beautiful photography and great blog. Thanks so much for the blog follow!
You are so welcome, Melissa! 🙂
I saw that you also follow Michelle’s blog on Belle Grove Plantation. I thought I’d check out your blog. Absolutely going to follow! Love gardening, but having a hard time thinking it about it with 2+ feet of snow on the ground. Guess I’ll go back and work on MY next blog post instead!
hello!
Isn’t blogging great? It puts us in touch with so many people and we can learn all kinds of things from the comfort of our desks!
Following Belle Grove from it’s beginnings has been fascinating, yeah? I set the DVR to record their TAPS episode next week. (missed the orig airdate)
