Christmas Plans

It is with a heavy heart that Mike and I would like to tell all of our Charlotte friends that we will not be coming to visit this Christmas.  We will be staying at our rental home in Knoxville for the duration of our visit, and we would like to invite any and all of you to come visit us at any time while we are Stateside. 

We thought long and hard before making this decision, and in making our travel plans, we realized that coming to Charlotte for even just a few days was simply too hard on us and on the children.  After traveling a zillion miles and 8 time zones, we just didn't have the heart to force the children to miss any more naps or be living out of a suitcase for any longer.  We really need to be in once place.

We would still love to see you all, though, so please consider staying with us in Knoxville!  We have our own house, at which you are welcome to stay, and my parents' Guest House (quite lovely) is also right next door.  Everyone was so gracious and accommodating to us this summer; please let us reciprocate by throwing open the doors for you at Christmastime!  And remember, we are last-minute planners by nature, so no worries if you just call us up and tell us that you are on the way!
