Photos: Visiting Nicole & Mason in Wilmington
We had a great time visiting Nicole and Mason down at Wilmington earlier this week. We went to another lighthouse – Oak Island. Luckily instead of having to make an appointment, one of the volunteers was there and let us in. Hayley was old enough to climb up a level to see how things worked… read more →
Photos: New Years Eve
We had a low key New Years Eve with our dear friends Mike, Sara and Landon. UNC had a game at 10pm so I had to actually work some but considering our game plan was to just hang out, play games and let the kids be silly, it didn’t matter too much. I love Hayley.. read more →

Visiting friends
Last month we visited my old roommate and dear friend Michele Eager and her daughter Ava. It was the first time our kids met and it almost made me tear up. We don’t see them enough. Then we hung out for the day with our friends Sara and Landon. Lunch, the park, all the glamorous.. 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 →
Photos: Pre-Halloween – wreath & pumpkins
To get in the Halloween spirit, Hayley and I made a Halloween wreath that we just adore. Then we set off for the pumpkin patch with our next-door neighbors where we bought many pumpkins (and pretended to eat them where I taught Ethan to fake throw up, lol).
