One night last week, when we were still feeling a bit under the weather, Rainey (Uncle NeNe) was going to stop by for dinner with our favorite pizza. Sadly, he had to work late, or at least that is what he told us. Christopher, Matteo and I made a few video clips to send to …
Call us crazy, but we are embarking a new adventure. Today is DAY 1 of our kitchen and family room renovation. I cannot begin to tell you how difficult it was to pack up the family room and kitchen not to mention set up a make-shift kitchen – one with a refrigerator, microwave and toaster/convection …

I finally had a chance to download most of the pictures from Matteo’s birthday party. I found a few worth posting…
