Welcome to the family little Michael!!

Tom and Shelley are happy to announce the arrival of Ryan's baby brother - Michael Thomas. He was born just before noon today, June 1st. He weighs 7 lb. 15 oz. and is 20 in long. He is very cute, looks like Ryan and has reddish brown hair. Everyone is doing well and should be home Friday.

Milestone for the Next Generation!

Thought this would be an appropriate post since Grandma’s first born Great-grand child recently went to his Junior Prom! RJ and Vickie had a great time. Doesn’t time fly?!

Allie's 'Relay for Life' team

Once again this year I will be walking in Relay for Life in honor of my grandmother, Roberta Nealon, otherwise known as Rory. For those of you who do not know what Relay for Life is, it is an overnight walk that helps raise money for cancer research. My friends and I have put together a team, The Lifesavers, and will be walking on Friday, May 29th through Saturday, May 30th. I hope you will be able to help us reach our goal of $2,000. Not only will you be helping our team goal, but you will be helping anyone whose life has been affected by cancer, as well as their families. To donate please click on the link below. Thank you so much for your support.

Love,
Allie

from Jen..extra sink?

Hi everyone. Libby you are so awsome! I really admire you.

I was wondering if anyone has a white pedestal sink they do not need. One of my little sweeties dropped something into our sink and put a hole in it with lots of cracks. Before we buy a new one I wanted to see what was out there. Everyone else is fine. Welcome home Roberta. Thanks, Jen.

Congrats Libby!!!

I was # 25021 and I finished in 4:39 - it was a great race and so fun! Here are some pictures..

Update from Charlotte

Hi Everyone,

Hello family! Wow, how long has it been since we gave everyone an update? I know many of you can relate to just not having enough time in the day to even send an email. We are all keeping busy and having lot's of fun! We are getting ready for a busy month of April with lot's of big birthday celebrations. Brylie turns 3 on Easter Sunday (12th), Grady and Dylan turn 1 on the (24th) and Buddy will be 30 something on the (25th). Brylie is loving her role as Big Sister to "her boys" and as you can see from the picture she has become quite the baker. We did get some snow in Charlotte this winder, don't laugh at the "covering" or "dusting", it actually was a very BIG deal down here in the South! Grady and Dylan have developed quite the personalities. As you can see from their pictures, Dylan looks more like me and Grady looks more like his Daddy - however their personalities are quite the opposite. Grady is a little more laid back and easy going like his mommy and Dylan, well let's just say he can get in to some mischief. We have our flights booked for a late summer 2 week vacation on Sagamore, we will be arriving on Philips Rd. on August 29th - September 12th. We can't wait and hope to see many of you!! We will be in touch with some Birthday photos next month!

Love,

Amie, Buddy, Brylie, Grady and Dylan
