Christmas Concert

By admin | Published: 17 Dec ’09

Today was the Christmas Concert at Preschool. Both children performed wonderfully. Mason stayed on stage the entire performance, we expected him to run to mom at some point during the three song set (Christmas Birthday, Deep and Wide, and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star). He was a trooper. Had a little issue of lifting up his [...]

Autumn in North Carolina

By admin | Published: 1 Nov ’09

It’s autumn in North Carolina. We know by several different reasons: the constant shotgun shots that we can hear from our entirely closed up house signifying the slaughter of those obnoxious deer that like to run into the side of my car, the turning of the leaves (supposedly rather beautiful in the “mountains” of North [...]

Always smiling

By admin | Published: 24 Apr ’09

Crazy… He always smiles, except right after his nap in the afternoon. This picture was after a little romp outdoors with Violet where she doused him with the water hose. Notice the curly hair and the lack of clothing.

Jesus Shaves

By admin | Published: 13 Apr ’09

Every year at this time I am reminded of one of my favorite stories by David Sedaris. He tells the story of being in France, being with a very diverse group of foreigners, and learning the French language. They discuss Easter. It’s funny, you should read the story. Mason is a junkie.

Bubbles

By admin | Published: 2 Apr ’09

It was a rainy afternoon in Raleigh, but still warm enough that it made for a nice afternoon of bubble blowing. Literally an entire afternoon of blowing. Nearly two hours of bubble blowing. It went on and on and on. I thought small people had short attention spans. I can’t even enjoy something like that [...]
