Celtic Thunder - Irelands Call

Joe and I went to see Celtic Thunder at the Fox. It was awesome! I cannot believe we didn't take any pictures. Even more, I cannot believe the voice coming out of that "kid". The best parts were when they sang "You Lift Me UP" and at the end "Ireland Calls" when they had on their formal kilts.

Charlotte Weekend Getaway

Karin and I thought we would hook up halfway in Charlotte, NC for a quick weekend "Grammy Fix". Things were going well, but when we got to church on Sunday morning the van decided to start acting up. After church we borrowed a car, had the van towed, and learned later on in the day that it had "died." So, Karin had to rent a car to get home. We didn't let that stop us and we went to the Discovery Place in downtown Charlotte on Monday. It was so much fun!






We sure hate to see you go...you have served us well!










Two little monkeys jumpin' on the bed!




We spent considerable time in the room while Mommy had to decide what to do with the very broken van!







When all else fails, J & N played DS .

The boys raced cars and did some really fun things at the Discovery Place!



The babes enjoyed the toys.































... and the rides.





























Joanna loves the babes...through it all she was such good help with them.
