Brian’s Art!
Today we saw that a piece of Brian’s art was selected for the NC State Fair! We’re not even sure which one it is yet, but we can’t wait to see it! Brian has been doing an after-school enrichment art class , and has made some really neat things there. Here are some photos of the master in action, provided by his...

Well, okay, what I have is a bit worse than that..! I stayed home from work today and tried to rest up. After school, Brian surprised me with a very cute Halloween-themed card, and even attached $40 from his own money! I’m not sure why, but he insisted! What a sweet thing to do, anyway. 🙂 Also included, video of Miss K doing some cool bathtub dancing (?) to the Beastie Boys this morning. ...

Kendall loves the duck feet slippers that Grandma Sue got for Brian a few years ago! They fit her perfectly now, and she loves to wear them. We went out to dinner with Grandma Sue and Grandpa Steve tonight, at P.F. Chang’s. Not all of us were feeling so great, but we pushed through! I’m suffering from a horrible sinus infection that I came home from Las Vegas with, ugh! Good food and family helps cure what ails you, at least I’m telling myself that....

I made it home, safe and sound (but sick as a dog!) Brandon and the kids picked me up at the airport so early, the kids were still in their PJs. I was happy to see them and have breakfast before they left for school and work. I, on the other hand, spent the whole day in bed with the good cough syrup. Tonight was the Hurricanes’ home opener, and we had all wanted to go, especially since they were giving out free scarves. Brandon had gone to the trouble of getting us tickets, so, I...

Today was my last day in Vegas, and while my tummy troubles have abated, I’m developing some sore-throat/sinusy-thing–sheesh, I’d be having a better time if my body would cooperate and just be healthy for five minutes! We went to more talks today, and finished up our trip by getting dinner at a fancy restaurant (Pearl, a Chinese place inside the MGM) and going to see a Cirque du Soleil show, Ka. Afterward, we picked up our bags and headed to the airport! Taking the red-eye...
Read MoreVegas Trip, day 3
Today was my big day–I did my presentation, and even being sick, with no sleep, I managed it! Everyone said I did really well, and I was relieved to be done. The kids had sent me a really sweet “good luck” video! I did my second panel in the afternoon, part of a Q&A with other customers, and that also went well. After that, I had a little time before my next event, so we did a little FaceTime chat from my hotel room. It was so fun to talk with the kids and give them...
