Mike called from "location" b/c he had forgotten his wallet.  Which meant, he had no money to get breakfast.  I was planning to meet him for lunch anyway and he thought for sure there would be a huge spread of food for all the guys.  Around 830am-they had to march 1/2 mile down the road, and then again, and then again, and then again-by 1230pm Mike was starving!  He no longer cared about being on

This sums up our experience at the first B&B.  Mike left early on Sun. 530am in order to begin the Braveheart March shooting at 730.  He missed this experience.  Cal and I stayed at the B&B in order to have a "gourmet" breakfast.  When the innkeeper served these banana pancakes-I freaked.  Luckily from the night before, I had a to go box.  When he wasn't looking I threw half the b'fast in

Mike and I are headed to Edenton this afternoon.  Hopefully, we will get there in time to take in all the sights and get some pictures.  Edenton is such a cute town.  www.trestlehouseinn.com               When we found out the house is in Jamesville, we had to alter our plans.  Edenton is about 40 miles from Jamesville.  We found a B&B about 13.3 miles from the house.  www.bigmill.comMike has to

As you can tell, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep up with this blogger stuff. Seems like it is always the last on my list and never gets updated.The last few weeks have been crazy busy! I'm heading to Nelson on Friday for a week or so. Mike is having a boys weekend and looking forward to deep sea fishing on Sat. I'll be going to Heather's baby shower and then helping get ready for B's big

We are back in town after a whirlwind vist to Nelson. Mike had some work to do in C'ville so I jumped at the opportunity to spend some time in the 'ford. Last night we had dinner at Vito's and I hear they are coming to Nellysford. I will need to get the direct number so I can get in touch with Dad. Callum and I loaded up on ice cream and Bruce's music. It is so funny to watch Cal dancing to

Spent the weekend here. Tifanie and Bill are getting married July 26th so it was nice for her to get some girl time and some sexy lingerie. The first night we went to dinner at The Back Porch and then drinks at Howard's Pub. Saturday we tried to hit the beach, but the rain got us. So we had some lunch at the Jolly Roger, toured the island on our bikes, did some shopping, grabbed dinner at Mango

The dreaded deer flies are biting the crap out of us (or I guess I should say sucking all of our blood). This is one insect I truly hate! Any ideas on how to get rid of them? Nothing seems to work.

Both of my boys are taking Father's Day naps. We spent most of the day at the beach yesterday followed by sushi for dinner. Today we took it easy, had some Mama Kwans for lunch. Callum seemed to have a taste for fish tacos~ just like his momma.Called Dad ~ He was going to The Lobster for lunch. I sent him The Bucket List in the hopes he might actually sit and relax for a few minutes. Mike has

We have had a super busy Mom's day. Cal decided to get me up a little early this morning to celebrate. I'm going to stay a few extra days in Nellysford since Mike has to work out of town this week. Maybe I will get a little leisure time in the new Target shopping center. I really want to hit up Michael's and Kohl's too. Cal is loving all the attention and new animals. I think we almost have

We are in Louisburg, NC. Both of my boys are sound asleep and I can't seem to wind down. We had planned to go downtown Raleigh today and see the museum. However, we got a late start and ended up spending the evening at Triangle Town Center. The kids seem to call all the shots these days. We had lunch at Twisted Fork and topped it off with a little TCBY. Callum has been having so much fun

We are back at home just long enough to unpack and pack for Florida. I am really glad we planned this vacation. It will be a nice change of pace.The past few days we had a celebration of Granny's life. We played music, drank coffee, sat and talked, looked at pictures, and had pie/cake for b'fast, lunch, and dinner. There is nothing like spending time with family/friends. Makes this week extra

Just wanted to let everyone know Granny unexpectedly went to be with the Lord yesterday. The Dr. believes it was a heart attack. She will be 82 Easter Sunday. Cal and I were able to spend time with her Tues. night. I'm so glad I decided to come home early for Easter. I believe the funeral will be on Monday. Keep us in your prayers.

Apparently, she found them scattered on the road in our neighborhood when she was walking her dog. So, the story Mike gives me is...he must have dropped his wallet in the driveway and Parker,

So, yesterday was really nice. Callum and I hit up the coffee shop first thing. He was quite a hit with the locals. Then we went perusing around town. Although I'm not much on shopping, I did check out a few of the stores. One of the highlights of the morning was finding patagonia and columbia stuff more than half off. I'm soo glad I didn't cancel the CC yet! Speaking of which, there has not been

I was so proud of myself this morning. Mike asked me to really try and be ready to leave the house by 10AM. Callum went down for his morning nap and I was on the move getting us all packed up. I was actually going to be on time. Mike had a few errands to run-one being Home Depot. Out the door he goes then I hear him come back frantically looking for his wallet. Well, around 11:30, and still no

It is freezing here (about 36) and windy. I'm thinking tonight will be a good soup night. I'm trying to find a recipe that does not have 40 ingredients and about 30 of which you can't find around here. Let me know if you have any good ideas.Yesterday, we went to Babies R Us to purchase a new car seat. Mike's mom got us a great deal on one at Sears. I was so excited to save some money, however,

Callum had his 6month check-up today. He checked in at 17lbs. and 30" long. We are now moving toward 12 month pants to avoid the highwater look.So, the Dr. proceeds to take off his diaper and Callum peed all over her. I could not stop laughing. It was as if he was out to get the evil woman who hurts his legs. He has yet to pee on us.

Since it was pretty nasty outside, I convinced Mom to try out a new cake recipe. This is our 12 layer cake with homemade choc. icing. You will probably gain a pound looking at this. As you can see we put to much batter in our layers, but it was still delicious! Mom is still sticking to the poundcake.While putting the little man down to bed last night, I was rubbing his gums...and I felt his first

Callum and I are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa for an extended weekend!!!! Someone will get spoiled over the weekend. Actually, I hope we both will get spoiled...We are planning to drop daddy of at the airport for his "boys" weekend in Boston and then tackle the remaining 2.5 hour trip all by ourselves. I have been pumping Callum all night that we can do this because it will be so much

Callum thinks I have lost my mind. Our sleepmate arrived yesterday just in time for our afternoon nap. I was so excited. Maybe he would take a 2 hour nap. I plugged it in and he chuckled; the sound was hilarious to him. Just my luck...hubby doesn't like it either. He stated, "Callum doesn't need all that stuff, noise doesn't bother him"; hm mm....the male perspective. Yesterday, I decided

The Ear/Nose&Throat Dr. said I have TMJ: How did I get this??? It can come from stress-(thanks to all those years of teaching).Rx--soft diet foods for one week-no yawning-no hard candy, gum, ice, etc.-no jaw warbling (?)-heating pad 2xday-medication (which I can't take b/c I'm still nursing)It could be worse...

Went to see The Business of Being Born on Tue. night which painted a vivid picture of natural childbirth verses the hospital. Ricki Lake is an advocate for natural childbirth. It is not for the squeamish! There were a lot of courageous women who shared their birthing experience. However, I will still being going to the hospital for baby #2, but I will be interested in bringing a mid-wife or

If you ask my sister about us growing up together she can always remember all the times I just sat around conjuring up ways to annoy her~I would say a few memories on her top ten list are...keeping her awake all hours of the night b/c I couldn't sleep or wanted her to fight the monsters, terrorizing her special keepsakes like Pluto I think it was, and always willing to be the "model" for her
