We are off to the Outer Banks
The bags are backed and we are almost out the door for the beach for the week. Hayley and I leave today, then Jeff will come down mid-week with the dogs. We’ve got an awesome house two lots back from the beach with a hot tub and four bedrooms. Three decks with a great view.. read more →
Photo Gallery: Marbles
My next door neighbor Jen and I took the kids to Marbles on Friday since we are all tracked out from school. It was a good time – I think we enjoyed the international section most and really got into the Marrakesh part. We did henna designs on our hands and made ‘plates’ to sell.. read more →
UNC 29, Notre Dame 24
What an amazing game. Hats off to Notre Dame for giving the Heels a huge challenge. However it sure was nice to take out a quality opponent. Forcing five turnovers was big. 5-1 Heels, one game from bowl eligible – sounds mighty sweet. read more →
Photos: Pre-Halloween – wreath & pumpkins

Put on your GEM SWEATERS

She also has a website that will crack you up – plus it highlights her band Leslie and the Lys that sings about sweaters and other important midwest diva issues. Her CD made me.. read more →
Chili’s love
Tonight we went to Chili’s because they were giving all the profits to St. Jude’s Childrens Hospital. A very good cause of course! We all went to celebrate Hayley’s awesome report card as well as ‘Nice to meet you day’, the anniversary of the first day we ever met Hayley. We had such fun –.. read more →
