Visiting Evelyn

Today, Joanna and I took the kids to Clemmons (near Winston-Salem) to visit Evelyn, Dawn, and Danielle at Evelyn’s house. It was so nice to catch up with the girls and watch the kids play (and wreak a bit of havoc!) in Evelyn’s great backyard. Thanks to Evelyn for hosting us all; we [...]

Jack’s big-boy bed has arrived!

How cute is this?

Butterflies, bouncy balls, and blowing air

… these are the things we enjoyed at the Catawba Science Center today! The kids and I had a great day, visiting the science center and eating lunch with Mawmaw and Pawpaw. Joanna inspired me with her trip last week, so we decided to adventure out to see what the museum now has [...]

What a fun way to spend a Saturday evening! Tonight we took the kids to Bailey Road Park for a special concert presented by the Charlotte Philharmonic Orchestra. We enjoyed the outdoor concert with friends Jo and family and Kathy and family (although Ed claims to no longer be my friend since I [...]
