Sam's First Day of School

We enrolled Sam at Kiddie Academy in the one year old class. He has adjusted very well and enjoys being there but still gives mom a hard time when she drops him off in the mornings. One of the features offered is an online video camera that you can log into and view your child's activities live.

Cul-de-sac Baseball

My neighbor Vince and I were playing baseball with the kids in our cul-de-sac. Since our neighbor Mark was out of town with his family, his house became the "fence" that indicated a home run. When it was Vince's or my turn to bat, we were "swinging for the fence". You can view three short videos of the sporting event here.

BugFest 07

We went to downtown Raleigh for the BugFest which is held at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. A good time was had by all. We stopped at the Big Easy on the way back to our van for a cool refreshment.

Haircut for Sam

Sam had his first haircut today - he is almost 17 months old. Even though mom wanted to keep her baby's curls longer, dad wanted his little boy to get a crew cut.

Paint a Pot

Our neighbor's daughter celebrated her birthday party at Paint a Pot. Nora & Hanna were invited and given the choice of choosing an unpainted ceramic figure to decorate. Nora choose a snake and Hanna picked a gremlin.

High School Musical 2 Party

Nora & Hanna joined the 17 million viewers of High School Musical 2 by throwing a party for their friends. They played the High School Musical DVD game Nora had previously received for her birthday. Everyone watched the movie and had snacks.

Loft Buildin'

Kristi has been wanting to build a loft in our garage for storage. She architected her vision and with the help of our two neighbors, Mark and Vince, put it up in about 3.5 hours. As most of you know I am not the handyman one would expect and I serve as "neck down" support for Kristi's projects.
