Thank you for your loyal support of this blog (at blogspot.com).

I would love to hear your feedback about this blog vs. the new one, and which one you like better. I have no idea who or how many people follow my blog. So if you could leave a comment, I would love it!

Who knows . . . we may eventually return to this blog! Thank you, Carly.

If you have two, what's five more?

My cousins from NY, Colleen and Darren, arrived Saturday 4/7 for a long anticipated visit! We thoroughly enjoyed reconnecting with them, and meeting their extraordinary children (extraordinary because of their wondrous behavior!). Indeed, their five children were no more work than our two. Darren joked around about how if you already 5, what's 2 more? But, by the end of the week, I was agreeing with just the reverse! Of course, as a parent of two little rascals (and an aunt of two more wild coyotes), my expectations were adjusted accordingly . . .but still, I was left thinking that maybe another little girl wouldn't be bad at all!

(don't get your hopes up, grandma)

March Vacation

Pictures from our week at North Myrtle Beach with Becca, David, and baby Drew (at Soo-Soo's beach house) March 14-17:

Becca and David's nieces, Margaret and Liza, came to visit the boys . . . super cute girls!

Cam, so exhausted, passed out first in the high chair, then on the floor beside the couch . . .

a "Fearrington" afternoon

Lucky for us, the weather was goregous this afternoon, and we took the boys to the farm at Fearrington Village (5 min from us). After Grey's initial horror of meeting a cow (screaming & crying with a death grip on Matt), he decided to sit in the grass and "moo" at the cows. It was really cute, even in the car on the way home, he was saying "moooo, moooo." Cam immediately fell in love with the cows, also "moo-ing" at them and then tried to climb over the fence to join them. Gotta love that little guy!

Cam would have actually thrown himself into the pond, had not Matt been holding onto him! Cautious Grey just watched his crazy little brother!
