Fear of Heights

Only Jim. Not me and now not Cole. At Fun Friday last night (a school event with activities that included this climbing wall), Cole 'rang the bell' at the top not once, but twice. He also seems to enjoy roller coasters, which again is a gene passed from his mom. We're working hard for the next month to grow, grow, grow given we have 1 more inch to add before he makes the cut for the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at DisneyWorld.

Home Sweet Home???

We had not planned to seriously look for a house until our lease was up July 31st. I refused to see this house for 6 months b/c I thought it looked like a barn and was ugly as hell. I gave in one Saturday afternoon and decided to go have a look...we're now under contract and supposed to close May 1. Guess we're staying in Charlotte for awhile...please let the market turn NOW.

Spring in Charlotte, finally...

One of the major selling points for Charlotte is the weather. So they say. I think it's just us...everywhere we go it's the worst weather in years, most rain ever or record cold temperatures (remember Disney 2006?). Cole had 3 snow days this year - one of his make-up days is Memorial Day (I think he already feels a bit of a cold coming on for that day). Here is a pic from one of the snow days...check it out, this was the most accumulation we ever got. It's 80 degrees and sunny today in Charlotte. It's sleeting in Chicago. It's about time.
