Swimming at the Lake...In a Pool...

Yeah, getting back to our roots, I guess...

Father's Day

Went over to the Lake last week for Father's Day. Girls had lots of fun playing with their cousins. Grandpa had a good time playing with his gift--some lacrosse sticks.

Myra's Flowers

So I lost the tomatoes to the raccoons again, but Myra's Zinnias continue to grow like weeds...

A 'wiring we will go...

Yup, got the new high school set up. Or really in the process. In the first picture is the core switch. Then I began patching in the nodes. Phew! It will take awhile, as the second picture is one afternoon's work...

Nice, Relaxing Weekend

Ok, so the pictures lies. We were pretty busy this weekend. Change the Forte's oil Friday, went to BJs, then Myra and I went to Lucy's end of year melt-a-thon, aka party (it was pretty hot!). Rotated the Forte's tires yesterday, went to Durant Nature Park and did some other shopping, then an 8 miler today and washed both cars. Phew! Gotta get back to work to rest! Although we did get in the new school last week, so we're busy setting up the infrastructure.

Karma

Yup, it's a b$&#*. The last post? You know, the one about the Best Running Accessory Evah? Yeah, they are on the way back to Amazon. Won't come on, won't charge. Figures. Hope to get them credited this week, then order new ones. I really dislike running with a corded headphone. Long run tomorrow too...

BEST--RUNNING--ACCESSORY--EVAH!

Got Motorola bluetooth headphones for my birthday. AWESOME! I can run with no wires. Heck, I can even put the player in my fuel belt. Loving it. And loving some of the long runs lately. Lots of 7 milers along the new greenway along the Neuse. Then an 8 miler yesterday through Durant Trails.

Happy Father's Day

Enjoying a good morning with my girls! I LOVE being a father! Thanks to my wife for making it happen.

Of course, thanks to my father for helping to make me who I am. A great piece of advice I always follow from him--if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing right!

Biking on the Greenway

While my folks visited last week, we decided to take another ride down to the new Greenway behind Bedford. My dad was pretty excited, he brought his bike down. You see, the start of the Greenway is not fully paved yet, hence why I carried Myra's bike. Do you like her flowerpot-basket?

To the Beach!

My folks came last week, so we decided to go on our annual daytrip to the beach. We headed to Wrightsville Beach for the day, enjoying the WARM ocean water and hot sun. So hot, I got a little (ok, a lot) crispy on the back. Dealt with that for 3 days, even now, I am still peeling. Anyway, had fun, girls got a little more comfortable in the ocean, and all was well!

A Real Monkey!

Look at her climb! We LOVE the Dump Playground!

June Arrives...

Yup, pretty darn hot. 90s this past week, 80s this weekend, then back to the 90s next week. My folks came down last night and will spend a few days with us. Girls definitely love being the center of attention. Kerry and I went for a long 7 mile run today, then we get to go out this evening!!
