As soon as I saw her, I burst with a “Oh! How precious!” Little Grace is almost 8 months old and is incredibly adorable. Her little curls bounced as her mom carried her downstairs. She was very friendly and smiley….and then, after a few minutes, in typical baby fashion, she decided that she would make...

Looka Me!
I knew this week we’d give it a try. Last night, Vaden sat in his Chic-Fil-A high chair while his Grandma and I ate and I thought, maybe tomorrow will be the day. So today, after a nice long walk this morning with our friends Jessica and Andrew, I got out the high chair and...
Vaden is 6 months old!
So we made it 6 months as parents. And we love it! Vaden has been such a joy. Thankfully, he is still sleeping through the night. He rolls over both ways now, he grabs at everything, he squeals with delight when I get him from the crib, and he remembered how to blow raspberries after...
Randy Jenny Slideshow!
Just got this great slideshow software and thought we’d make a cool one of Randy & Jenny! Check it out HERE.
Happy Birthday Mimi!
Today is my Mom’s birthday. She’s almost over the hill, and yet she’s got 5 kids under 5 to keep her busy! She’s been asking herself every day, “Why am I in this season of life all over again? I am too old for this!” And then one of these littles pops over to her...
Historic Downtown Wake Forest Criterium
Some of you are probably wondering why Melissa would shoot a random sports event, which is a valid observation. In fact it was me, Randy (the eternal sports addict), who shot this event. I really had great time at this event. It made me quite reminiscent of my days in the saddle, maybe one day...
Family: The Kranz Krew.
The Kranz Family is an amazing family I have known for years now. Jerry & Cindy met in the Marines years ago, and are still just as in love as when they met, and I might even venture to say, they love each other more now. When I met them, I was in middle school...
Where the trees stand still.
Today I have been thinking a lot. About a lot of things. I feel like I have been trying to catch up on life lately. I had about 10 pages left in Nicomachean Ethics when my dear friend Esther called. She is living in Kona, Hawaii for another 11 days before she heads to Cambodia...
An interlude with a gift shop granny.
I know they have to have some magnets around here somewhere. “I wanna see that baby.” Her determined tone of voice snapped me out of my “where on earth could they be” mission just in time to see Randy twist the stroller around to face her. A little elderly woman with a name badge on....
Charlotte, Free to Succeed Tour
What a whirlwind of a midweek-weekend. That’s how it felt at least. I crammed to finish my 250 pages of reading and write a one page review for the class I am taking a day early so we could head out early Tuesday morning to Charlotte… we: Me, Randy, Vaden, and my sister Ellie. She...
