Mira’s Birthday

by @ Sunday, June 27th, 2004. Filed under Family

Mira turns one year old today. I can hardly believe that it’s been a whole year all ready. She has been a wondeful addition to all our lives. Seeing her and Xander play together is one of the most wondeful things I’ve even witnessed. We are very lucky to have two great children in our [...]

Dene’s Wedding

by @ Saturday, June 26th, 2004. Filed under Family

Dene had a wonderful wedding today. It was a small service, just the parents, Dan’s kids, my family, Neya, and Brey. It was very beautiful. I’d never seen a service involving someone who already had kids, and they part where the minister talks to the kids was amazing, that was the closest I came to [...]

Columbia

by @ Friday, June 25th, 2004. Filed under Family, Vacation

Well, we’ve finally made it to Columbia for Dene’s wedding, which is tomorrow. The traffic was horrible around Mooresville, NC, so we ended up being a lot later than we planned. We’re all here safely though. Xander was thrilled to see Nannie when she got to the hotel. Mira is still warming up to her.

Ninja Gaiden 1.1

by @ Thursday, June 24th, 2004. Filed under Games, Xbox

Tecmo is releasing an upgrade to Ninja Gaiden via XBox Live. Not a patch to fix bugs. An upgrade to the game. New enemies, new weapons, better AI and an improved camera. Of course, it’s going to make an already hard game, even harder. Still, it’s a classy move on their part. I’m glad I [...]

Mama

by @ Tuesday, June 22nd, 2004. Filed under Family

Mira said, “Ma Ma” today. Now, to be fair, we don’t really know for sure that she meant her Mommy. We were walking around Babies R Us looking at strollers. I happened to be on the other side of a row of strollers and Mira couldn’t really see Kate very well. I was walking back [...]

Clocks

I want a Time Table (it’s down at the bottom). The Dali Clock is pretty neat also.

Mira Walking, at least a little

by @ Tuesday, June 22nd, 2004. Filed under Family

I can’t believe I forgot to mention this on Father’s Day. Mira took her first steps on Sunday. I was sitting on the couch with Xander. Kate was sitting on the floor. Mira was standing in front of me holding onto my knees and looking over at Mommy. She turned towards Mommy, let go of [...]

Father’s Day

by @ Sunday, June 20th, 2004. Filed under Family, Personal

I had a wondeful Father’s Day today. I’m lucky to have two such wonderful children. Xander gave me a flower he made at should out of a tracing of his hands. It was very nice and he was very excited about giving it to me. He spent the whole day wishing everyone the the family [...]

Playground in the Basement

by @ Saturday, June 19th, 2004. Filed under Family

So we showed Xander all the changes that we’ve been making in the basement today. Kate’s mom was up this week, and the two of them did a lot of work clearing out some space in the basement. We took that space and taped down a carpet remnant that we got from Home Depot in [...]

School’s Out

by @ Friday, June 18th, 2004. Filed under Family

Today was Xander’s last day of school. He’s had a great year this year. I’m amazed at how much he has learned in the past few months. Sending him to school was the right thing to do, even though it was hard on all of us at first. He has grown up a lot and [...]

Dave Blaney

by @ Thursday, June 17th, 2004. Filed under NASCAR, Sports

RCR has announced that Dave Blaney will be taking over duties in the 30 car. That’s nice. I was afraid for a while there we’d keep a driver a whole season. I do like Dave Blaney though. He’s one of those underdog drivers I like to see do well whenever they are able to run [...]

Dance Dance Revolution

by @ Thursday, June 10th, 2004. Filed under Games, Personal, Xbox

I picked up DDR Ultramix for the XBox yesterday. I spent an hour playing it last night and it was a lot of fun. It was also a good workout, which was half the reason I bought it. Kate played it a little after she got home before we went to bed, and she enjoyed [...]

Stand in the Place Where You Live

by @ Saturday, June 5th, 2004. Filed under Family

So we were watching qualifying this afternoon in the family room. Xander was sitting on the couch. Kate was in the kitchen talking to her sister on the phone. I was sitting on the floor keeping Mira in the family room playing. Mira noticed Kate standing in the kitchen and crawled over to me to [...]
