Oh Christmas Tree...

Yesterday was our annual Christmas Tree day.  Picked up a good one--still smells goooood!

Stay Out of That Hole!

Yeah, they did not listen to that too well.  We went to Durant this afternoon, after the shopping, and just hung out on a beautiful day in Raleigh.  Coming back, along the Secret Trail, they discovered this culvert.

It's A Hockeeeeey Night With Myra!

Yes, somewhere, under all this equipment, is Myra.  Kerry's dad is joining a hockey league at The Factory, so we thought it would be fun to dress her all up!

Christmas Parade With My Pals

Raleigh's Christmas Parade last weekend brought lots of screaming young girls (Scotty McCreery was the grand marshall), Stormy the Ice Hog, and of course, the Stormtroopers looking all festive.  Darth must've been back on the Death Star with a cold!

The Real Black Friday Tradition

Don't give me any shopping!  I will stay nice and warm in my bed, then stumble out, pull down the light boxes, and hang the lights.  This year I had a really good helper!

Switched to white lights, including some icicles this year.  Tonight we'll fire them up to see if it looks good.

Slithery Friend at Falls Lake

Went to Blue Jay Point on Falls Lake recently.  It was a cool day, but we walked down to the Lake from the playground anyway.  We happened on this apparent Copperhead snake, just laying there, hoping for some additional sun.  Pretty neat!

Jump Around!

Both our girls are now enrolled in The Little Gym.  Lucy has been getting much better, and it appears, after Myra's first day, she has some natural talent!

Cool Toys for Web Conferencing

So I attended a retreat at a local business on Thursday.  Before it started, the one employee said, hey, come here, I want to show you something.  They just put in this soundproof, acoustic conference room with these three large tvs.  So cool!  And then the document camera is above the ceiling.  How awesome!

Fall Is Here!

Had a nice leaf-crunching ride through the Abbots Creek Greenway yesterday!
