Things about my life.
Yesterday we got back from an awesome first summer vacation. First we went to Clinton, and then to the Beach to spend 6 days enjoying the sun and the water. The kids had a wonderful time swimming and fishing! Then we headed off to Charlotte on Friday for a big meet up of the whole [...]
Xander has turned 9. He says he had a great day, which is what we tried to give him. We got up and had the breakfast that he wanted. Then we opened up his presents. Lots of Legos this year, which he’s really into right now. He spent some time building them before we went [...]
The kids have been wanting to go play on the basketball court for a week or so now, but we’ve not been going because of Kate’s ankle. We took them yesterday and they seem to have had a good time.
Our house is very excited to be watching Obama sworn in today. I don’t have much to add that others haven’t already said elsewhere. I just want to express out excitement and joy on this momentous day.
Heading back to work this morning, and the kids are back to school. We’ve had a wonderful vacaction. It’s been a very fun and relaxing 2 weeks. I’m proud of the kids this morning though, they did as good (or maybe a better) job as I did getting up and getting back into the routine. [...]
We’ve had an exciting and busy morning. Everyone has had a great time opening our wonderful presents. We hope everyone else has had as enjoyable morning as we have. We are getting ready to have breakfast now.
Merry Christmas everyone!
We’ve had an exciting Christmas Eve. Mira has a bad croupy cold, so that has curtailed our plans somewhat, but we have soildiered on. Kate went out this morning to do our last minute food shopping for tomorrow. Then after that she and Xander went out for coffee (which Xander had wanted to do yesterday) [...]
So we took the kids to see The Nutcracker today. It was performfed by The Loudoun Ballet Company. We all enjoyed it very much. Mira had a little trouble near the end, it was a little bit too long for her. It was almost too long for Xander to, but he managed to keep focused [...]
We are back home safe and sound now. It has been a great week. Thanksgiving day was beautiful in Clinton. The weather Thursday and Friday was amazing. We got lots of time for all the kids to enjoy various activities outside. One of the most fun new things for Xander and Mira was playing on [...]
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We’ve had a great week so far. Sunday we headed down to Kate’s parents. That was a long day, but the kids did their usual great job. Then on Monday we went to Biltmore House to see the Christmas decorations there, which the kids loved also. We also had lunch there at [...]
We got our voting done this morning. We were there around 7:30am to find no line at all. There was apparently a line at 6am when they opened, but it had cleared out by the time we got there. That’s the report I’ve been hearing from most of my friends as well. After that we [...]
We just got back from our trick-or-treating with out Princess Aurora and our Jedi Knight. They have developed more stamina over the years, we were out for over an hour tonight. They had a lot of fun and there is a lot of candy for us to check over tonight!
So Mira asked me to go with her on the apple picking field trip again this year, and I was happy to tag along. The apples weren’t as easy to get this year, but we had a great time anyway. We ate a bunch of apples there and brought home a nice haul for enjoying [...]
Square Enix has announced that is will be releasing the PS2 version of Chain of Memories here in the States this December. It’s Final Mix+ minus the Kingdom Hearts II stuff. The box art looks pretty nice. Xander and I will no doubt get quite a bit of enjoyment out of this release. Kingdom Hearts [...]
The kids seems to have both had a good day at school today. They are their ususal talkative selves about it, so details are few. Xander did admit to getting a lesson today and having done several works. Mira said she did a couple of works today as well. They got to eat lunch together, [...]
