House For Sale!



Yes it's true!  We are moving!  


Sadly, we have out-grown our first house as a family of four!  We absolutely love this house and hate to sell it, but we simply need more space.  We haven't found a new home yet, but we know we are staying in Greensboro.  Now the fun part begins- keeping everything clean and tidy 24/7 with a dog, two kids, and a husband...

80's fun!

Last weekend we took it back to the "old skool" and went to an 80's party at Starmount.  We had a blast!  It was absolutely hilarious to watch everyone walk in.  All we could do was laugh!  This night totally brought back some memories...and made us feel old!

Snow!












Looking forward to another home day tomorrow!!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day this year was very hard for us.  In the morning, we took Raleigh to live with his new mommy.  It was extremely tough having to say good-bye to a dog who loved his family so much.  He was a friend, son, brother, companion, and family guard dog!  We loved him dearly, and still do.
The entire way there Emery kept saying, "Ra Ra.  Hug.  Kiss.  New home,"  She was so sweet!  I think Owen understood our decision to give Raleigh away too.

We know Raleigh will be loved and spoiled rotten!  We can only hope for future pictures of the R-man!

We love you buddy...

Ever since Pat taught Emery the phrase below, she has not stopped saying it!  Maybe I should purchase these earrings for her future...
Part of the surprise sale happening right now at Kate Spade.

Preparing for heart day!

Boxer available...


Unfortunately, we are looking for a home for our boxer, Raleigh.  

Raleigh is 7.5 years old and fully house trained.  He weighs about 75 pounds and is in good health.  He is current on shots and monthly meds.  Raleigh stays inside most of the time, however, when it is nice, we let him stay outside in our backyard to watch the birds and squirrels during the day.  He walks well on a leash and follows basic commands like sit, lay down, shake, etc.  His favorite things include running around in our back yard, chasing balls, and chewing on raw hide bones.  Raleigh can often be found laying in the sunshine in our den or sitting very close to any person in the room.  He loves  attention, butt rubs, and climbing into your lap (when allowed to do so)!  Raleigh has been great with people (including our 2 small children under 4 years old).  Raleigh is also great with his little brother (8 pound Yorkie).  However, Raleigh does NOT like stranger dogs. 
With small children and a busy work schedule, we are unable to give Raleigh all the proper attention he needs and craves right now.  That is why we want to find him a new permanent home.  A perfect home for Raleigh would have a fenced yard and he would be the only dog.

If you are interested, or know of someone that is, please let us know.

A few from my cell phone...









Emery's 1st hair cut!

She is already due for another trim, but before I forget, I wanted to post pics from her very first hair cut!



Such a big girl!

Holiday Travels

For Christmas, I was off work for two weeks!  It was great!  A few days before Christmas, the Lehman ladies went to NYC.  During our short stay, we enjoyed delicious food, the Rockettes, shopping, a Broadway performance with James Earl Jones (You Can't Take It With You), an outdoor holiday market at Bryant Park, and dinner at DB Moderne.  We had a lovely time!





 For New Years, we went with a group of friends skiing in Showshoe, WV.  I've only been skiing once in my life, so I needed a lot of practice!  However, on the last day, I went down a few blue slopes!  I definitely got the award for "most improved"!




 On the way home we stopped by The Greenbrier for lunch!  It was fabulous!
 We are already looking for another reason to stay at The Greenbrier in our future!
While it was fun to get away for a few nights, we were excited to get home to our little ones.  This was the longest amount of time we have ever been away from them!  It felt so good to squeeze their little necks when we got home!
