Visiting with Rachel
We caught up with Hayley’s sister Rachel and her family to end the month of July. Amazing to see how much these kids are growing up! See more photos from this set: Regular view (easiest to find one in particular or print) Slideshow view (easiest to see them all) read more →
Some cool pics from the NC Proam tonight
The photos are a bit blurry as Hayley took them in the NCCU gym (and gyms always have terrible light) but they are pretty awesome photos of Hayley and her friend with some very cool folks at NC ProAm basketball tonight. They were excited to watch some summer basketball and get autographs from a bunch.. read more →
Fourth of July
We went up to Blacksburg for a Fourth of July vacation. Blacksburg is so lovely in the summer when it is just sweltering down here. I know Jeff was happy to visit Virginia Tech’s campus as well since it had been a few years. The big news was that Jeff and his folks ran the.. read more →
Meet Italee and Ivory, Hayley’s new piggies
Word to the wise: don’t ever make outlandish bets with your kid over grades. I bet Hayley if she substantially raised her math grade, I’d have a limo get her at school. Of course she did it. While I would have actually had the limo get her, I did sort of think it was a.. read more →
42, Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything
The Ultimate Question of course is what age did Jeff turn this weekend. (i’ll assume the geeks amongst us have enjoyed my bit of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy humor) I decided to get all fancypants and make him a homemade birthday cake. I did the inside in his beloved Virginia Tech.. read more →
Thirteen!
Hayley is officially a teenager and her birthday weekend was a lot of fun (we had family in the weekend before for Easter and her family birthday celebration, I’ll post about that asap). She wanted a new phone since we only gave a very simple starter phone for her first year. So we think we.. read more →
Wrightsville Beach
We had a great time at Wrightsville during trackout. Stayed at the Blockade Runner again this year, can’t say enough about how nice the renovations are down there. We hit the beach, the aquarium, shopped, visited friends, took a horse drawn carriage ride around downtown Wilmington and a cruise on the Intracoastal Waterway where dolphins.. read more →
Roller Derby
We went to Roller Derby on Saturday to watch the Carolina Roller Girls face the San Diego Wildfires. Of course the match was delayed when we had to evacuate to the basement of Dorton Arena as the tornadoes swept through the greater Raleigh area but we got a good story of out it at least!.. read more →
UNC Spring Game (updated)
We went to the Spring Football game today! After sweltering last year, it was freezing this year. We had a good time – much bigger crowd that I was expected with the cold overcast day!

New TV!
The new TV and blu ray are being installed now! We’ll have a wall of TV when they are done installing and linking everything together. And yes, we are just dorky enough to want two big tvs in the same room. Thank goodness Jeff’s brother Jay is a whiz at this or it would have.. read more →
