The First Day of School

Xander and Mira started school today.  They both were very exicted and did a good job of getting up and ready this morning.  We (and lots of the other parents/kids) were actually at the front of the school about 10 minutes early this morning, so we had a great time hanging out before the day [...]

Allergy Testing

Xander went in for alergy testing today.  The restults were impressive.  He’s pretty much allergic to all types pollen and also mold spores.  His Alegra keeps it under control, so the doctor recommended we stay with that for now.  She said allergy shots are an option, but that there is a new treatment being used [...]

We went and bought a new bed for Mira today.  She’s outgrown her crib mattress in a bed frame that she’s been using for a while now.  So we went off and got her a big girl bed.  She’s very happy and proud about the whole thing.  Kate and I got it home in the [...]

The Clone Wars

I took Xander to see Clone Wars today.  We both had a great time.  I’d heard a lot of bad things about the movie, but we both enjoyed it.  It’s possible that the fact that I’d heard bad reviews lowered my expectations enough that I was happy with what I saw, I don’t know.  More [...]

Home Again

We’re back safe at home after a wonderful trip to Kate’s parents over the last few days.  It’s about 500 miles each way, but it was worth the effort to get the kids down there.  We had a great time, but it is still nice to be back in our own house again.

Biltmore House

We had a wonderful day at Biltmore house today.  The kids both enjoyed the tour, expecially with the teasure hunt that they give for the kids to do.  We were able to make it though the whole house.  Then we had lunch in the Stable Cafe before heading out.  Kate and I went ahead and [...]

Long Trip

We spent most of the day yesterday in the car making down here to visit Kate’s parents.  It’s a lot longer trip than going to my parents, but the kids still did a great job with it.  We’re having a good time, despite the cold and sore throat I’ve had since Wednesday.  We’ll be staying [...]

Kids to the Dentist

We’ve been slack.  I admit it up front.  The kids had their first trip to the dentist today.  Focusing on the positive though, they both did a great job, even though they were nervous about it.  They waiting nicely for their turn, and then they did an amazing job sitting in the chair.  They didn’t [...]

Fireworks!

Happy 4th of July!  We’ve had a great day just hanging out at home together.  We went outside to watch the fireworks, but it was looking pretty unlikely.  It was very foggy and humid out.  So at the last minute we pilled into the car and drove downtown to see what we could see.  We [...]

Home Again!

We started the morning having the fish the kids caught yesterday for breakfast.  Then it was time to pack up and head home.  It was a long day in the car, but the kids did a great job with it.  We’ve all had a great time, but it’s wonderful to be back home again.

Mira turned 5 today.  We had an awesome day at the beach for her party.  In the morning, her uncle took her and her brother and cousins out fishing.  Mira caught a baby shark!  Xander caught a bluefish!  We spent the rest of the morning playing out in the sound.  Then we came in and [...]

We had a wonderful time with Kate’s parents.  We all met up (that’s Kate and me, her parents, and my parents with the kids) around noon and all went out for lunch together, which was a lot of fun.  My parents headed back to Clinton after that.  Then we spent the rest of the afternoon [...]

Kate and I made our way down to the Triangle area today.  We are going to be meeting the kids here tomorrow and seeing Kate’s parents for the weekend.  Then we’ll head back to Clinton and then the beach.  We had a leisurly day getting ready to go.  We weren’t in a hurry, so we [...]

So today, Kate and I went and had dinner at GG Cafe. It’s a little Italian place in downtown Leesburg, and it was excellent. It’s a small place, in one of the old buildings downtown. The inside was very nice though. The restaurant is upstairs, and has windows which look out [...]

My brother and his wife were celebrating their 25th anniversary this weekend.  They were having a pig picking at the beach.  We loaded up on Friday and headed down for the party on Saturday.  We had a great time.  The food was excellent!  We had a great time playing in the water with all the [...]
