Wish us Luck

I probably shouldn't post this as it might be bad luck, but we put our 'guest' house under contract last night! If all goes well it will close in mid November.... now I need to find a big hunk of wood to knock on.

It's so cute :) and so many happy memories live there!

Our Minions

Here are the fuzzy family members...who we refer to as our minions due to the fact they follow us any and everywhere

There is Chester (aka Monkey) whose favorite pastimes include lounging in the sun, wrastling with Wes or hunting his favorite banana (more on that later). We are trying to train him to pull the plow around the house, but so far we just get contemptuous glares before he goes back to his lounging.

Then we have our little Chiquita (aka the Banana) who loves chin scratches, kitty kibble, hiding from the hungry Monkey and avoiding Wes torture (he loves to put butter on her back and watch her do spinnerettes.) She is our special needs kitten as she can't jump, land on her feet, or run without flipping over. She suffers from identity crisis, she thinks she's a puppy, rolls over on command, begs for food and will eat ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.

New House, Old House....Does Anyone need a House?



Wes and I were lucky to buy a beautiful new home in Nolensville, TN...about 20 minutes outside of Nashville. I absolutely adore my new ride to work! Friends and family also adore my new ride to work as I'm not calling them every afternoon complaining about sitting in the horendous Nashville gridlock...


So here is an outside look of the new digs....pretty :)













Leaving us with our previous home to sell....also pretty :)


It's only been on the market 3 days....patience is a virtue right?

A,B,C's of Nephewdom

Wes and I have 3 new nephews that somehow ended up being named alphabetically....

There's Asher, look at that smile :)

There's Brendan, or as we know him, Mr. Bubbers:


And the newest addition, Carter:
