Double Dentist Visit
Today was Kendall’s first dentist visit! Lucky for us, we were able to book them both on the same day and time–I think having her brother along with her helped Kendall have a great experience! I know they both loved the big play “jeep” that was out the lobby! Afterward, we dropped the kids off at school, and Kendall was very happy to arrive in time for paint! She started painting with gusto–I had to get a few pictures. Next up, we dropped Brian off at school,...

It seems the kids had quite a morning before Brandon and I stirred this morning! In fact, it seemed like they were both ready to set out on an adventure. Brian had created a license plate for his red car (presumably to make it street legal?) with this full name and some identifying pictures.. Plus, some “planets”–glow in the dark stickers he’d colored in to represent them! When I found Kendall, she had her backpack on and her her guitar in her hand. Not sure what...

Today we made the trip out to Chapel Hill Creamery once more for their family day! The kids really enjoyed the hay ride and seeing all the cows. There was a newborn calf, only one day old! There was a neat writing spider with a cool web–reminded me of Charlotte’s Web. Mental note, be sure to share that book with the kids once they have slightly longer attention spans! Brian enjoyed meeting a friendly barnyard cat, sampling fresh cheese, and watching a young cheesemaker...

Another split-duty Friday night! The boys went to the hockey game, and I spent the evening with Kendall. She was so ready to go home this afternoon, putting on her raincoat without complaint and heading straight to the door! She even got a little concerned when I brought out the phone instead of opening the door immediately....
Read MoreHalloween!
It’s Halloween! The big night is here! But, first things first–we still had to go to work and school today. It was a pretty regular day for the kids, although I did dress them up in festive gear. 🙂 They had an impromptu game of balloon keep-away before school. Brandon and I had a special day, since Halloween is pretty important at Red Hat (the very first release of Red Hat Linux came out on Halloween, and has henceforth been called the Halloween Release). The company puts on...
Read MoreRed Hat Halloween!
Tonight was the big Halloween party at Red Hat! It was a little different this year, being at our new HQ, and with some restrictions on the number of folks allowed to attend. We nearly didn’t get our wristbands, but thanks to some hardcore near-tears begging on my part (“They’ve never missed a Red Hat Halloween, every year since they were born!”), we secured a spot for the kids. 😉 It took some wrangling to get everyone where they needed to be in time for the party,...
