Miss Personality

This past weekend we decided to check out the Roxboro Personality Festival (Roxboro is in Person County, hence Personality Festival). I don’t know if it was the heat or the fact that Roxboro is not a big town but there was not a lot of people, at least not as many as we expect –…

All smiles and then…

This week we had our first serious accident. It started out with everyone all smiles. Cailee was even posing for pictures, which is rare enough. But the mood was shattered when Connor went head first into Cailee’s rod iron bed frame. I have never seen so much blood and I wasn’t quite sure what to…

Happy Father’s Day!

Like I said – lots of funness! We went to a great park in – well actually I don’t know where it was – somewhere around Burlington/Mebane. My parents have a great knack for finding these gems in the wild. This park was great; its huge, with picnic areas, a playground, a frisbee golf course,…

Silly faces with Aunt Bep

I’m a week late in posting my pictures from last weekend. We packed it full of funness (yes, I’m making up words) – leaving no time (nor energy) for me to update my blog til now. Beth came to visit us and Cailee was thrilled for the extra playmate, just as we were to see…

Scooter girl

Cailee has bugged me for some time to get a scooter and I have been a little nervous. One, she’s seems to be falling a lot lately – you should see her knees – they are so skinned up. And two, she hasn’t really mastered the art of steering anything. She just assumes that the…

Nothing out of the ordinary, yet extraordinary

We had a good weekend – nothing out of the ordinary – but sometimes those are the best ones. I know I often get caught up in the “Can’t wait til.. ” the next big thing. Maybe its a trip, or an event or a new fun toy. But if you waste life just looking…

Role reversal

As demonstrated last week/weekend, Cailee is a big fan of the water, and even though I put Connor in his bathing trunks and repeatedly put him in the kiddie pool – he would crawl right out and head for the swingset. Today, we packed up the kids, put Cailee in her swimsuit, Connor in his…

Happy Memorial Day 2012!

In honor of Memorial day, I found a North Raleigh neighborhood that holds a parade – this was the 19th annual Summerfield North Memorial day parade. Most of the neighborhood was participating in the parade so we were just a few of only a handful of spectators, but that meant we got a prime spot…

Zoo – part 2

A few weeks (or months) back we went to the zoo and as much as we tried we were unable to finish making our way through the entire zoo so we promised a return trip (that, and we bought a season pass and needed to make our money’s worth). Apparently Cailee missed the memo that…

Fun in the sun

On Friday, Cailee’s school held its final shindig – a funday for all the students. And I don’t know were I got the impression that there there were going to be bouncy houses and water slides, but I clearly read more into the flyer then turned out to be the reality. Fortunately, Cailee was not…
