We kicked off the weekend with the Tyners on Friday, having a little surf-n-turf for dinner (including $2.99 lobster tails from Harris Teeter… what a deal!), while the kids enjoyed a little playdate. It’s amazing how different the kiddos are every time we get together, showing off a new trick every time we meet up. [...]

I just got this bill from AT&T, who we discontinued our service with last month, and wish more bills looked like this.

On Thursday night Sarah and Derek flew in from Texas to spend the weekend, and we kicked things off with a yummy kabob dinner and games here at the house. The next morning (after an obligatory breakfast at Bojangles with our Texas visitors), I took the two out to Duke Gardens for a little while [...]

Last week we’d finally had enough of Jack and Brady’s ratty hair and gave them both much-needed haircuts and baths. I’ll just share Brady’s makeover shots, since Jack never looks that much better.
Before:

And after:

While we had Sarah and Derek visiting from Texas, then went up to Blacksburg for a couple days, the boys stayed at [...]
