Here are some easy and fun meals we’ve eaten at the Byrd home lately: Who knew making pulled pork could be so easy?! It sat in the crock pot all day and made us some delicious sandwiches for dinner! This here is a Memphis style sandwich, with the exception of the whole wheat bun. : ) …

Well, when Charlie started looking like he had an old man combover, I decided it was time to trim it. I set him in his feeding chair and used the following tools: The sucker was the most important tool…. that is what kept him still! I forgot to take his picture when I was finished,…

On Sunday morning after the first service at church, we traveled to Eden to celebrate Kacoo’s birthday! Aunt Jane made a delicious lunch for everyone, and Aunt Rhonda brought a beautiful purple cake that had little black and white vignettes on the side showing important moments in Kacoo’s life.

Fortunately my husband is good at researching things to do around Wake County, especially when it comes to finding new parks to go see. On Jimmy’s day off during the spring break week we took an afternoon to head to Yates Mill. Surprisingly, it has some stroller friendly trails! (The only bummer is that the…
