Harvest Moon


Ok, so apparently, a harvest moon only comes once every 20 years. We went out (in our jammies) to look for it initially the other day, but did not see it. I figured I would check again a little while later, and sure enough, a brilliant harvest moon!

George Washington's Teeth

Cross off another thing on my to-do list. This morning I saw actual teeth that were in George Washington's mouth. Also a cannon that Knox and his men dragged through the snow from Fort Ticonderoga, changing the whole outlook of the Revolutionary War.

We went Downtown today to the NC Museum of History for a great Family Colonial Days. Lots of fun crafts for the girls, and Kerry and I actually got a few chances to look through some things.

UNC CTO


I am spending the next two days at UNC-Chapel Hill (boooo Tar Heels) in the CTO program from the School of Government. Pretty neat, working with 35 fellow tech directors across the state over an 8 month period. In November I will 'graduate' and receive a certification. Great for the resume...

Being a Parent

Yeah, tough sometimes. A struggle can come up at any time. You can feel so bad at the blink of an eye. You can want change so much, to help your child learn a lesson, all the while wanting to stop the tough love. Just a tough game, as those moments fly by so quickly.

Another Fun Weekend!

With our crazy schedules lately, the weekends certainly are our chance to unwind. We plan to do just that this weekend. We'll drop Lucy off at a birthday party, then stop by Kerry's folks to test out their new Foosball and Pool table. Maybe drink a yummy Harvest Moon as well. I LOVE PUMPKIN ALES! Just some running, chilling, enjoying each other planned for the rest of the weekend.

September--Keepin' Busy

Yeah, we're still here. Just super busy, as usual. Everyone went back to regular schedules today, after the three week track out. Now 9 weeks, and then DISNEY! We can't wait!
