Hart and Melissa's Fabulous Website

We had a terrific weekend visiting the Grandparents Rossman. We also visited Matt & Suzy where we enjoyed a delightful meal including fried turkey. YUM!

I've just added another new feature to hartandmelissa.com. When you visit our site, you'll notice "Hart's Widget" on the right-hand side of the screen. If you wait about 2-3 minutes it should connect and tell you whether I'm online and available to chat or not. If I am, feel free to type at me :)

How It Works:
You can change your screen name by clicking in the "edit nickname" bar, located near the bottom of the chat widget.

To chat, just type into the middle text field (there is some grayed out text that basically says "type something here") and then hit enter.

If I notice you are online, even as a generic visitor I might initiate a chat...so don't be surprised if your computer beeps and some random message appears in the chat box!

This feature is powered by MeeboMe.

Two weeks ago a good portion of the local family got together to celebrate Grandma Shelli's birthday! She's 21 again...YAY!

Here's a few pictures of the evening.

Geno & KC are moving up to Vermont at the end of the month. They are super awesome friends and we will miss having them nearby dearly. On the flip side, we've got a new snowboarding vacation spot already scoped out ;)

Liz & Jarriel hosted a fun, frolicking bon voyage party for them!

It's day 3 of our first family vacation! We're having the most incredible time down in the Outer Banks with some great friends! Imagine MTV's "Real World"...with 30 somethings :) We totally keep it real.

It's pretty sweet, of the 5 couples three of us have infants. By now I'm sure the other two couples are either dreaming about the pitter-patter of little feet...or doubling up on birth control ;)

We spent about 4 hours at the beach yesterday with Sierra...she loved it! We dipped her feet in the water and let her kick a bit in the sand. She really got into it :)

Some beach pictures!

The other day the whole vacation gang went over to the Wright Brothers National Memorial to learn about thier wacky heavier-than-air, powered flying experiments. Pretty cool stuff! Afterwards we rocked over to the Weeping Radish for some good all-natural German food :)

More pictures here...

Sierra and I woke up at 5:40am to go out to the beach and watch the sun come up over the water. It was a bit cloudy & quite windy...but Sierra's first sunrise was a smash success!

We had a great time on our last day at OBX bodyboarding and then going our with the crew for one last hurrah before the 8 hour slog back home :)
