Special Visit


(Frank and his mom)

This past weekend, Frank's mother (Eileen) came to Charlotte to visit. We definitely kept her busy with our everyday routine and events that were planned. She went with us to pick up Kayla, got enjoy the family cookout/surprise birthday celebration for Dad and took out for an early "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY" dinner! We enjoyed her company and sharing with her our exciting life together. We love you Mom... thank you for coming to Charlotte!

NEW ADDITION

Easter weekend Frank and my dad put a fence in the backyard of our house. We have been wanting this for McGraw and also so we can get a little girl for Frank to train to hunt. Well... this past Friday we went to pick her up! She is absolutely adorable. McGraw is starting to enjoy her as well... he even lets her play with his toys! They are absolutely adorable together... below is KAYLA (she is 8 weeks)!

Asheville, NC

Frank and I got the chance to get away on Monday and Tuesday; for Frank it was pleasure, for me it was business and pleasure. Either way... we both had a relaxing time. It was Frank's first visit to the mountains in Asheville, NC and he absolutley loved it.

We stayed at the Biltmore Estate... if you have not heard of this place, it is an extravagant location. Secluded on over 8,000 acres and staffs over 6,000 employees that has its own gardens, winery, farm, flower garden, hotel on property, and more! The history is unbelievable... dating back to 1895 of the Vanderbilt family. Check out their website... www.biltmore.com.
