My Three Girls!


It's official. We have another girl on the way. Kerry and I went to the ultrasound last week, and it was pretty definite! I liked this ultrasound better, as they printed us a lot more pictures out.


We spent the week thinking about names. We already had one from the last time, but wanted to research names a little more. We ended up deciding on Myra Jean. Good, unique name. Lucy is cute--when asked where Myra is, she points to Mommy's belly. She did say "M-ra" pretty good, but got over that and just began to mumble again. Oh well!

Ahhhhh...

Besides being with my family, another perfect moment in my life! Posted by Picasa

Some of My Racing Competition...

Glen Wesley and Ray Whitney approaching the stage. No competition for me, though, as neither ran! (-: Posted by Picasa

Lord Stanley...Lord Stanley...

Instead of brandy, we were drinking Gatorade out of the Cup today at the Stanley Cup 5K. Posted by Picasa

Stanley Cup 5K

Only Pete Friesen, strength and conditioning coach for the Carolina Hurricanes, would choose to spend his day with the Stanley Cup working out. Thankfully for the people of Raleigh, he decided to share the day with runners, for the 1st (and hopefully more to come) Stanley Cup 5K this morning.

Being the great runner I am (chuckle, chuckle), I decided to run it, and met Jenn, Robin, and Ashley there as well. More players participated then were scheduled (and I use participate loosely--most wore sandals and I presume just stayed to fill out autographs!) It was a good time and even better cause.

Afterward, I got my hands on the Cup, so I was happy with that!

Busy Like No Other...

Phew! Just when I think things cannot get busier, they do. Between the new job, new baby on the way, the piece of junk Ford, and home repairs---we never stop these days!

Things are well though. The new job provides some challenges, but that's what I wanted. I think I was spoiled at the old school with all the technology, so now I can help all these ready and willing teachers develop lessons with what exists. The staff really promotes a high energy ethic too--of course 25% are first year teachers, so that makes me one of the most experienced on staff, but it's all good!

Lucy is doing well. The girl is smart! Or is that S-M-R-T? Only Homer knows for sure! She figures things out so quickly, that Mommy and I are even amazed. I cannot wait for the cooler weather to be outside more with her--she loves the playground, walks, and just being outside. I took her for a run this afternoon, and we had such an awesome time! I am such a Dad!

Speaking of running--I will get back into the races as I run the STANLEY CUP 5K on Sunday. How cool is that? I can just envision myself, running the last mile, Stanley Cup raised above my head. I am definitely ready to get my hand on it again! (-:

Kerry and the new baby both continue to grow! Heehee! I'll post some pictures soon. Mommy is a little tired, what with energy girl running around, but I try to give her time to rest as much as possible. Of course she uses that time to clean or cook, but what can you do! (-:

Hopefully I can update more often...check back soon!
