NC - Spring Break

We decided to take a spontaneous trip to Waynesville, NC to visit my brother Matt and his wife Wendy and two boys Taylor and Tanner. We had a great time visiting the places that are near and dear to me from summers with my Dad and step Mom, Betty. We also went to Cataloochee National Forest and saw the Elk, which we all loved!

March 31st - 4 Year Anniversary

I can't believe its been 4 years already! WOW! I got Rich a Butterfly Guava tree (4 year is plants and fruit) and he created a papaya from oils that is just beautiful. He also got me sunflowers and today we went to Banning Mills (about an hour south of ATL) and did the Extreme Zip Line and Ropes/Bridges course for 4 hours. It was so much fun!

LA

While in LA visiting Audrey, I also saw Theodore Leaf and was happy to see how great he is doing. Audrey, Natalie, Mary Helen, Mary Helen's sister Annie and her daugher Sophie and I went to the Sandpiper's Fashion show to raise money for less fortunate families in the South Bay area. This year Pamella Roland was featured and it was so wonderful to see a fashion show live. Here are some pics.

Happy Birthday Shae Stansbury!

I went to LA to visit Audrey and finally meet her little girl, Shae Wright Stansbury. She acts like Natalie and looks like Phil. And can't wait to meet Cadence Kortman Wright, Phil's little girl who was born on April 1st. The first picture is Holly (Phil's wife) and Cadence, the 2nd picture is Shae in the shirt I gave her for her bday.

Right Brain Ball

Our big charity event for Neighborhood Charter this year was the Right Brain Ball. Was so much fun and you could come as you are - jeans or ball gowns. They raised over $60K for the school by auctioning off the kids artwork, silent auction and the adults buying alcohol. :-) Here are a few fun pix - included in the pic with me and Rich are LeAnne and Kimberly, and the girl pic is me with Suzanne and Leigh - so much fun!!!

Sista!

My sis came down the end of February to do a little shopping and go see Grace Potter and the Nocturnals at Variety Playhouse. Grace Potter was awesome, if you haven't seen her - check her out! So much energy and great music - Ooohhh la la la la la la la la!

Another karate test...

...now they are both in karate and McKenna had her first test, Aidan is 4th or 5th. All went well. McKenna got her yellow stripe, Aidan his yellow belt. They both did a great job!!

Broken Arm

Well, the first broken bone. McKenna fell off the monkey bars at school and has a compression fracture in her wrist. She got a cast which is nice and white in this shot, but now is covered with signatures and dirt! It hasn't slowed her down one bit.
