The Next Vacation?

Driving around Pittsburgh I kept seeing these sticker on cars that said OBX. Finally one of them was kind enough to include the subtitle, "Outer Banks, NC", and the OBX suddenly made sense. Since then I've heard some really good things about this place. Apparently you can rent huge beach houses (not necessarily ON the beach in our price range) that could sleep all 3 families. And apparently there are quite a few activities in addition to the very nice looking beach. I'm just throwing it out there. For a place that may be fun, driveable, relatively affordable, and perhaps able to be done with kids, it may meet a bunch of criteria for our 3 year "half-vacation" before our next big one in 2012. Check it out.

Easy Street

Not too far from my house is a lovely cul-de-sac that I thought the Jacksons would be particularly fond of.

Another gem from Craigslist

I was innocently just looking for a double stroller when I came across this:

I'd almost go buy it just to meet this person!

God is Good

Does anyone still check this blog? I do. Every day. I have seen Brandon in his loupes so many times that I've forgotten what he looks like without them. It's time for a new post. I'll start - hopefully the rest of you will follow.
My subject is sentimental.
I have been floating on air since the news of little Vivian reached my inbox. The Flickr page with constant images of two darling redheaded sisters bring tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart. It might sound silly, but seeing the way Heavenly Father has placed your children in your arms has strengthened my testimony. Thank you so much for letting us be part of your lives!Congratulations again and good luck getting out of KY.
