A sneak peek of our beautiful home


Here is a quick sneak peek of our beautiful home. I will be posting pics periodically for you to share in this experience with us. I can not wait to sit on my front porch and share a cup of ice water with my dear friends. Thank you Lindsay and Jeremy for your advice yesterday!

President's Day = Dentist Day




That is right for the Wagener children President's day became Dentist Day. We spent 4 hours at the dentist but oh the fun we had. We found an awesome new dentist here in Charlotte and they are great with children. Landen and Gabriel had thier routine cleaning and it was Lilly's first time at the dentist.


The receptionist let the children sit at the real check in desk with their own clip boards. They were able to draw pictures and she took their pictures on her computer and played with them. Landen has braces so he is a pro now with the dentist since he goes once a month. Lilly was invited back to watch Gabriel's check up so she would not be scared. The dental hygenist let Gabriel play with the sucker thing which he thought was so cool. Then it was time for Lilly to sit in the special seat. The dental hygenist let her have a pair of rubber gloves and glasses just like what she wears to clean your teeth. Lilly thought she was so special. Then she got to play with the sucker and she rode up and down in the chair.


We are happy to report that there are no cavities!!! If you are looking for an awesome dentist office for your whole family let me know.


How did you spend your President's day?

Sweet Valentine



I absolutely love celebrating Valentine's day.

This year we decided to celebrate Valentine's day as a family. Brian and I had flowers delivered to each child at school and then later that evening I made a special dinner for the whole family along with Valentine cupcakes with heart sprinkles. We all ate by candle light and then I surprised everyone with their own box of chocolates. Every year we give each child their own box of chocolates and a special treat for Daddy and Mommy. Brian surprised Lilly and I with lily flowers our favorite!

This year Jacob who lives across the street from us who is also in kindergarten asked if Lilly could be his "Valentime". Then after approval of her being his best friend (Valentine) he surprised Lilly with a dozen little pink roses and a goody bag. They are the best of friends and play so well together. Daddy asked Lilly "who is your Valentine" and Daddy still ranks at the top of the list.

This was such a special day for all of us I do hope that you will share with me how you celebrated Valentine's day.
