During spring break at Duke, we took a little trip to the outer banks of NC. We drove the 4.5 hours out, went to the beach and stayed the night in Kill Devil Hills, where the Wright Brothers flew the first aircraft. It is still the off season so we got a great rate on the motel. The next morning when we were getting ready for another day of adventure, we ran into our friends, Morgan and Emily Stinson. They were staying at the same place....imagine that. We spent a fun day with them that included seeing the Wright Brothers museum, lighthouses, Ft. Raleigh, Roanoke Island, the beach, and Festival Park (pirate heaven). It was a fun little trip. Ethan got a kick out of all the sights, the sand and playing with the safe in the motel room!
Overheard: Libby, playing pretend with dolls: "I don't want to be a princess wife anymore! I'm gonna take this wedding ring and throw it in the garbage!" Natalie: Do I have a feminist on my hands?
Ethan, passing by restaurants in the car: "Mom, I miss fast food!"
Libby, playing pretend: Mom, what do Ollie and I need to do in order to be ninja pigs?"
Ethan: "I can't wait to go check outside to see if there is any new born snow!"
We are Eric and Natalie Pelfrey. We've been married for 7 years and we have a energetic little boy, Ethan (5), and a sweet and stubborn little girl, Libby (3) and a chunky, precious baby boy, Oliver (1). Eric is workin' his life away as an attorney in the Big D, and I am going crazy as mommy. We are very blessed and very happy!
