Finally, all the cold really amounted to something. Once again, the weatherman got this one wrong, its was supposed to be a non-event which turned into quite a bit of snow and given the colder temperatures it hung around for a while. I think, all told, our little pocket of North Durham county got about…
This time of year the only real excitement we have is Cailee’s gymnastics meetings. Its kinda nice, a trip to look forward to, a great destination and honestly, I love watching her compete. This is the second year we’ve gone to Hilton Head and while its still generally cold this time of year – its…
I always feel so blessed this time of year. We’ve learned from experience that making it to the Moravian love feast on nights that JJ has to work usually ends with us being too late so we just headed to our church where the hot chocolate and cookies are a plenty. On Christmas morning, after…
Our tradition of going to Charlotte to celebrate with the Herrman side of the family continues. This year, the weather was mild – it hardly felt like just a few days before Christmas with temps in the 70s. As always, the kids spent the afternoon training Stacy’s dogs and we gorged on bbq and mac…

We always get excited when its actually snowy for our trip to the mountains. It just puts you in the mood. This time it was a little different. The snow started in Durham and followed us the entire time there. The roads were ok but got sketchier as we got closer to the mountains so…
Feeling motivated this year, we got up early and all headed to the Turkey Trot Thanksgiving morning. We even talked Aunt Beth into doing it. I did the 8K, Beth did the 5K and the kids did the mile fun run. Everyone finished! But boy was it COLD! During the run was fine, but as…
This year, we started the season a little earlier than in the past. The coaches wanted everyone to get one meet (and the subsequent meet jitters) out of the way early so they scheduled a meet Veteran’s weekend in Richmond VA. What was nice about this meet is that JJ and Connor got to come…
