Straight No Chaser

Quite the date month!  Hurricanes game, Straight No Chaser concert.  Now a movie date for Catching Fire when my folks come.

Straight No Chaser at DPAC was a pretty good show.  We enjoyed ourselves!

Meat for the Dads!

So hot dogs for the girls, and a huge hunk of terayki marinated meat for the dads.  So good!

Camping With Myra

Another weekend, another camping trip.  This time with Myra's tribe.  Fun time!  Lots of good food, good times, and time spent with my Little Bear!

Pretty Sweet Seats, Eh?

So far this year I am 2-0 in Hurricanes games.  And both games were free.  Can't beat free!  Very fun time with Kerry at this game, and SO CLOSE to the action.  Plus we were on tv!!!

Field Trip Dad

I do love the opportunity to go on as many field trips with the girls as I have.  This time I got to meet Lucy (and Kerry!) at Historic Oak View Park as we looked around a farm.  Pretty cool---they got to pick their own cotton, see how it was made into thread, see animals, how they washed and cooked in the day, and other neat things.  Cool!

And Lucy's Turn...

Lucy did not get as long an opportunity, but she got some climbing in too!!

Lucy the Organizer

So while Myra climbed all over, Lucy was selling things for Girls on the Run.  She sold some of her rainbow loom bracelets, which were the popular item.

Didn't I Say She's a Monkey?

Went rock climbing this weekend.  Lucy had an event for Girls on the Run, so Myra got the chance to climb some rocks!  She would make it up halfway, then stop and come down.  Once she heard there were prizes, though, she scaled this one pretty quick!

Christmas Approaches!

I always know Christmas is coming when the Christmas Cactus (from my Grandma) on top of the bookcase at work starts blooming.  Let the Holidays begin!

Fun Playdate

Girls had their buddies from their tribes over yesterday.  They had quite a fun playdate!

Yet Another Tribe Meeting

Lucy's this time.  Fun, cool fall afternoon!

Trick or Treat

Met up with some friends in the neighborhood to do some trick or treating.  Two witches, an angel, and the Cat in the Hat.  Fun!

Marine Corps Mom

Girls were VERY proud of their mother (and I was proud of my wife) for the Marine Corps Marathon recently.  Even though it did not end the way she wanted, she was amazing and showed amazing strength and courage.

So now the decision is mine for Pittsburgh in 2014.

Metro!

So we went up to DC two weeks ago for Kerry's marathon.  LOTS of time on the Metro.  You know I loved it, and the girls did as well.

From One Tribe to Another...

So we hosted the first tribe meeting of The Diamonds in the Sky.  Little Bear quite enjoyed it!  We camp with them in a few weeks.

Camping With Lucy

So Lucy and I camped out last month with the tribe at Falls Lake.  First camping trip with the 'wedding shower' tent.  Had a good time.  Smores, JiffyPop, a Hammock, and a cold, cold night!

Who Doesn't Like Cookies?

No sooner did I see Pittsburgh Dad cookies, then I receive a box from Eat-N-Park thanks to my Mom and Dad.  Pretty neat!
