Happy Thanksgiving!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is here! Where did this year go? Some things we're thankful for:

1. our two amazing daughters!
2. both having jobs
3. our home
4. professional development opportunities
5. our health, and the ability to run when we want to
6. our city we live in--lots to do, lots of affordable things to do, great climate
7. our family, who support us regardless

Cornholio

Ok, so this is the first time with children I thought I need to remind they are my kids and not my pals. The other day, out of the blue, I pull my shirt over my head and did the Beavis Cornholio routine. Tonight, they wanted me to keep doing it. I did it once or twice, then thought I wanted them to see it, so I found a little YouTube clip. Then later, we are sitting there, and I hear something out of the corner of my ear...I turn, Myra has her shirt over her head, 'I am Cornholio.' LOL! So proud...

My Princesses

Lucy and Myra went to a birthday party yesterday. Of course it was a 'Princess Party,' so they had to dress up, not that they minded! A good prep for Disney World next week!

Nothing Says Christmas Like the Stormtroopers!

How can you have Christmas without Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers? It just isn't Christmas without them!

2010 Raleigh Christmas Parade

Another great Raleigh Christmas Parade to start the Christmas Season! We went down with Kerry's folks for the 3rd time. Weather was much more moderate than usual, and that led to record crowds--about 60,000 people. Lots of great things--Stormy, Santa, and of course, the Stormtroopers!

Christmas Parade Weekend!

Yeah, you know we're excited! This marks the start of the holiday season. With our Disney trip, this will be an even busier season, but bring it on!

Low Key Weekend

Besides going to the Lake for the day, it was a pretty slow weekend, which we all appreciated. We're all getting over colds, and with our travel two weeks away, we definitely can use the rest.

Played checkers with Lucy for the first time today. She actually got the hang of it pretty quickly and already started thinking a few moves ahead.

Myra-ese--'owie'--she always gets her owies! So cute!

November Is Here

So here we go. A month of meetings, travel, conferences, and DISNEY! And of course, Christmas Music has begun in our house!
