Mighty Mites at the ‘Canes Game

So, we had something really exciting happen this evening. The IcePlex Mites program was invited to participate during the first and second intermissions of the Carolina Hurricanes game tonight against the Anaheim Ducks! I’ve witnessed this spectacle many times over the years and never thought I’d have a kid participating in it, but here we are! Every time Brian and I had been to a game and we saw the Mighty Mites, he always wanted to know when he could do it. I could never give him...

Bizarro world?!

Bizarro world?!

What kind of a crazy world is this?  I come back from Brno to find (gasp!) PAPER TOWELS in the washrooms at work.  Clearly some sort of dimensional rift is at work here, and I’ve returned to Bizarro World.  😉 (Hand dryers vs. paper towels has been a long-standing battle at work for going on three years–our Facilities folks have been die-hard hand dryer holdouts, but they must have folded (ha!) in the name of Freedom of Choice, or...

2015 Goddard Holiday Portraits

Here are the kids’ holiday pictures from Goddard!  🙂  I was still in Brno when these were made, so Brandon had to wrangle both kids for this before-school photo shoot all by himself.  Nicely done, Dad....
