Swimming, Party, and School on Saturday!
Today started early, with Brian’s swim lessons this morning! Kendall tagged along, and Brandon got some cute pictures of them sitting outside in the sun. Then, Brian was off to get a haircut while I hung out with Kendall. Later, Brian went to his friend Emily’s birthday party–he was happy to discover that that it was at Orange Leaf, one of our favorite frozen yogurt places nearby. He picked out this kind of weird-looking octopus birthday card for her, and while he was...

We often go out for Mexican food on Friday nights, and tonight was one of those nights! After Brian’s skating lesson, we all met up and headed over to La Rancherita for dinner. Brian’s order came with curly fries, and I think he had a record-breaker in there! He was so excited by that, as you can see. 😉 Kendall wasn’t too sure about it! We were all pretty excited by the new fresh-made guacamole, and I think the kids would have been happy with just a tub of that...

…the best thing in the world is to be greeted by two happy children! Today I made my conference debut, speaking at SplunkLive! Raleigh. I’ve been so busy over the past few weeks, with a major upgrade project among too many other things, and I wish I could have had a little more time to prepare for this..! I didn’t feel that great about my performance, there were some A/V glitches that sort of messed up the flow, and some slide issues that had to be fixed at the last...
Read MoreChili’s Monday
We randomly decided to go to Chili’s for dinner tonight. Brian asked for it, and we couldn’t think of a good reason not to! I think he loves going there so much because of that picture menu, and getting to circle his choices with a crayon. It’s not official protocol or anything, but I suggested it to him once just to keep him busy for a few seconds. He just loves that autonomy! He always tells the server his own choices that he circled. Brian remembered his...
