From Sand to Snow

We had a busy Christmas (what's new? Ever seen four Christmases? Well we hit three this year.), but it was restful and joyous. Well, after we Smiths got over our illnesses (hence why I have practically zero Christmas pics), we had a great time. My brother-in-law and Mother-in-law took us on a nice stroll on the beaches of St. Simons. Windy but beautiful! (I like Matthew's angel wings here!)
After St. Simons and St. Marys, and a Christmas with the Blair/Maupin clan, we headed on a blissful babymoon. This was our humble abode in Bryson City, NC. Looks huge, but we just rented the bottom half for a few nights. 
We ate tons of great food and just vegged out together. The downtown bakery had the most amazing homemade bread that made the most incredible french toast, ala Matthew!
Then God answered our prayer... it snowed!!!
Just had a little snow at the cabin even though it was freezing!
When we ventured out, Matthew was ready for a blizzard. What is it about guys and their hiking sticks?
The view from the cabin was awesome!
All we had to do was drive 30 minutes and we hit several inches of snow!
First time at this spot in the Smokies!
The fresh mountain air revived us after the busy holidays.
Don't be fooled by the smiles, Matthew was a sore Yatzee loser, and rummy loser, and scrabble loser.... hmmm. I was in the gaming groove!
We found a great coffee shop (of course) called Cork and Beans, and we splurged as if we were back in Paris. The crepes were just as tasty as the French originals.
We loved chilling just us two, but we are pumped about baby Smith's arrival in 3 months!

Break from the blog

As March begins, often we hope for a great thaw in our land. Now Georgia certainly doesn't have any icy soil that needs warming, but our yearning for more light and fresh newness to keep us from numbing appears universal. I have written on this blog for ten years now. From singleness to newlywed to mama of four sickly, but now active, growing boys. It's been a place for me to purge, process, and pray through some of life's biggest changes and challenges. It's also helped me keep distant family and friends informed, but I've felt for some time it's come to an appropriate place for pause. I know that I have many more mountains and valleys to travel if the Lord wills it, and many more personal lessons that I'd love to share and reread to my kiddos one day (and if anyone wants to organize and compile this little landscape into a memoir, please be my guest), but I do not ever want to assume a posture of numbness as it relates to our regular routines. I re...

A little color

School has officially started for me, and my teachable teenagers will be booming into my room in two days! I can't wait to shape those minds of our future! :)   However, my summer projects are a great reminder of the joyful color and peace I had for two months. :) I found this great idea on Pinterest and thought it would add a great accent color to any room in my home! I still have to put it all together, but here's what the finished product will look like with a little more subtle turquoise: I have it all painted and ready to be assembled!  More pics upon completion! (may be quite a while though now that school is in session... hope you weren't holding your breath.) ~CC
