Photina aka The Wifey
I'm the wife, mom and blogger. I grew up in VT and love the country. I am going to Clarion University of Pennsylvania and working towards my BA in Library and Information Sciences. My goal is to complete my MBA. I love my family and friends, blogging, photography, running, being outdoors, reading, history, geocaching and the early American and medieval eras.
David aka The ONE Guy
David is the One Guy in our house. He grew up in CA and joined the Navy 14 years ago. He is our resident computer guru and Mr. Fix It Up. If your computer is broken he's the one people seem to go too. He loves riding his 4 wheeling in his Jeep, hiking, fixing or building things, taking adventures, finding new places for us to go explore, geocaching and more.
Us aka The Couple
David and I met September of 2003, 2 weeks after he checked into Newport Naval Station during my Sophomore year of college. At first we were just friends. May of 2004 we started dating. In April of 2005 he proposed and we were married in August of 2005.
Lillie aka Our Diva
Enter Lillie in September 2005. She had a bit of a rough start. She spent 2 weeks in the NICU and life has been an adventure since she was born. She has developed her own sense of style, personality and attitude. She loves arts & crafts, the Disney Princesses, pink, school, hiking and going caving.
Ivy aka Our Lil Bug
Ivy was born in May 2007, 6 weeks early. She also spent some time in the NICU but also came out with flying colors. Due to her being early she has always been on the smaller side but that doesn't deter her. She loves to climb everything, find bugs, make music, Tinkerbell, dinosaurs, building things, and trucks. She is constantly getting into things and giving me mini heart attacks.
Holli aka Our Munchkin
Holli was born July 2007 and rounds out the girls in our house. She was born several days before David deployed on an 8 month long deployment. She hasn't had much time with David but you can tell she loves her daddy. She has already developed her own sassy attitude. She loves to run around, chase after her sisters and the cats, Dora, and climbing. These are our girls
And this is our family
Things are a bit crazy at times and we may not have it all together but we have each other and are loving our life together.
