This beautiful exchange

This morning, I was comparing a picture of me from a little over a month ago with one that we took just yesterday. Tony and I were both amazed at how much my belly has grown. I decided to share it with all of you. Just for fun, I’ve also included the first picture we [...]

If any of you knew me about 5 years ago, you would know that I did not like to cook. I wasn’t BAD at it, I just didn’t like to do it. There was something about trying to get everything done at the same time that would completely stress me out. If the meal had [...]

The weather in North Carolina can be a very interesting phenomenon. It is the only place I know of where you need the heater on at night and the air conditioner on during the day. During the winter, the nights can get below 40, just enough where you need a little heat to keep you [...]

“OH LOOK, you’re pregnant!”
“I’ve heard a lot about you. The most interesting thing to me is that you’re pregnant.”
“I can’t imagine trying to find a job while you’re pregnant.”
“Don’t worry, we’re a family-friendly organization. I have two kids, myself.”
“My biggest concern is that you’ll have to lift a lot of boxes.”
“Of course, there is no [...]

Sorry that I’m just now getting around to putting up these pictures.
Here are the pictures we took yesterday morning when we woke up to snow. They are from our back door, looking out over our deck, and the view from our front porch.
