Okay, a bit of business first. Working in corporate America, I am worried about my job. I work for a large, building materials supplier, we have seen our business decrease drastically over the last several years, laying off thousands and closing about 100 of our locations. There’s a plan out there to help the situation; [...]

Farmer’s Market

By admin | Published: 6 Dec ’08

The day revolved around food. It started out with pancakes, made the only way that Violet will occasionally eat them. Then, I was walking through the kitchen and noticed the neatly organized fruit and veggies for Violet’s play kitchen. I shot the picture on the back deck for dramatic effect, that’s not actually where I [...]

It snowed in Raleigh. Really. No lie. Colleen and the kids went outside and made a snowman. It was an eight inch tall snowman, but a snowman nonetheless. Preparations for our exciting Thanksgiving weekend are in full swing. We are spending the Holiday alone, just the four of us, but we intend to make the [...]

What a nice weekend. We played all day yesterday, then we went to Jumpin’ Beans today. What a fun little weekend. Beyonce was on Saturday Night Live last night… Here’s a picture of Violet dancing like her: We played a little bit in the yard, driving around in the “tractor”, it’s actually a battery-powered John [...]

Halloween

By admin | Published: 1 Nov ’08

We had a nice visit with Grandma and Grandpa over this Halloween week. We only talked politics a little bit. We went out to eat at a Mexican joint. They played during the days while I worked. Colleen made Mason a Fireman’s uniform and Violet wore her princess dress. We had a nice Halloween day. [...]

Blankie

The most loved part of Mason’s blankie: Here’s the only decent picture I got of James Taylor from the other night: We had a really good time. We got there two hours before the show started.

Blurry Pictures

By admin | Published: 18 Oct ’08

For some reason, today, I took blurry pictures all day. It turns out there’s not just drawbacks to being in a swing state… Drawbacks like the four calls I got in one night asking me to vote for Barack, then a phone call at 10pm the next night asking me to vote for Barack, and [...]

Anecdotes and Pictures

Originally to be titled “Mason’s Balls”, I changed the title to not be so juvenile. Here is the picture to go along with my post this evening: We had fun kicking around the soccer balls (in the house) this evening. Mason gets a big kick (hahahaha) out of playing with his balls. It’s been a [...]
