Five Brown Kids

Scotia and Blythe are so lucky to have a group of friends who move from house to house and yard to yard playing all day

My dad started this new Retire To Liverpool web site to entice people to come live in my tiny little hometown. He's gotten some local and regional press.  It's worth checking out the Gallery .  I grew up in a beautiful little corner of the world. Fort Point Lighthouse - the Mersey River on the right empties into the Atlantic Ocean on the left Village of Milton along the Mersey River Boating for work, boating for pleasure

1960's bungalow in the hottest neighborhood in Raleigh, walking distance to elementary school and Target New kitchen, small but cute Two tiny master closets Double Sinks! Low ceilings

Boxes, blankets, tired eyes and a bike (of course!) for Taye's triathlon on Saturday. I can do this.

There were so many rooms with so much space, almost overkill Don't love the hard ward floor, tile and carpet or that big dividing wall.  Ugh! Neighbors in the back yard Big Bonus Room Note: Bedford has beautiful homes but our price range puts us at the lower end of this neighborhood

Despite the fact that we are busy packing up the last 12 years of life the weekends continue to be as crazy as ever.  Taye attended the NC swim select camp for the top swimmers in the state. They had two former Olympians as coaches and Taye has signed hats and swim caps as proof.  We have friends in Greensboro so I was able to drop him off Friday night and they delivered him to the pool Saturday morning.  Because... Saturday morning Tyrone had two cases at a medical office he moonlights for and Jaxon had a basketball tournament.  The girls stayed home with our favorite baby sitter which makes them very happy.  Jaxon's team won the tournament. And his knees seem to be feeling a little better. Yay! 

While Tyrone was in the Dominican Republic I saw a house online in the neighborhood we wanted.  The minute he got home we went to look at it  - and a few others too just to make sure we really wanted it.   Here's house one of four houses we looked at.  I will post them over the coming week. Which one did we pick?   (Note: Closing day on our old house and new house is still to come, nothing is set in stone until I have keys in my hand)  Love the curb appeal Interior was a little outdated, def some things we would need to update Basement bonus room with bookshelves Beautiful backyard with nothing but woods
