This beautiful exchange

We have officially received two different offers on the house. The first one was a couple of months ago. After an hour of negotiations, standing in the hot Carolina sun, we finally reached an agreement with a family of four. However, after weeks of trying to get them to return our calls, we decided to [...]

Graham has to be the pickiest eater I’ve ever known. He must have gotten it from Tony.
For the past three years, we have gone through probably ten different brands of dog food, trying to find something that he is willing to eat. We have tried cheap food and expensive food. We’ve even bought the food [...]

Yesterday, Lucy and I spent the afternoon with the Petty girls. We had fun eating lunch, looking at butterflies and playing at the park. Here are a few pictures from Lucy’s first trip down a slide. I think it was probably more fun for mommy!
   
   
Hope you have a great weekend!

Tony has some of the best dreams I have ever heard. Seriously, if you ever get the chance to sit down and talk to him about them, you’ll be amazed and entertained. Most of them play out like some sort of strange movie, probably directed by Martin Scorsese.
His most recent amazing dream involved him and [...]

Over the weekend, a nationwide Nurse-In was held at local Applebee’s restaurants. The buzz started when a woman in Kentucky was asked to cover up while feeding her baby in the restaurant. To read about the incident, go HERE. Unfortunately, there was not an organized nurse-in at any of the Applebee’s in Charlotte, so I [...]
