Red Hat Tower
Today Brandon and I took a walk during lunchtime and noticed that we could see the newly-unveiled top of Red Hat Tower. (It has been covered up with scaffolding for months.) It’s awfully.. Red, isn’t it? But it is pretty striking in the bright summer sun. Also: one of Brian’s collage art pieces, on display in the hallway at school. Unfortunately I don’t know the story on this one..! And finally, Kendall playing in her PJs this evening–she found a pair of...

Today we saw some of our Goddard friends again, when we went to see a baseball game! This was a special family game at the Durham Bulls, sponsored by the Goddard School.

Mr. Malay gave Brian and Selah new Durham Bulls hats, and Ms. Vineeta came by to sit with us for awhile....

He destroyed his mega-house in a spectacular crash! We’d seen some videos of play ideas for...

Brandon and I got to enjoy a rare night out at the NC Symphony! It was a Sci-Fi Spectacular, featuring music from Star Wars, Star Trek, and many other TV shows and movies that we like. Plus, a special appearance by Mr. George Takei himself! We were also surprised to see a number of Star Wars characters in full costume. We posed for some photo ops to share with Brian. I really wish he could have seen the show! But, it was much too late for him. Hopefully they will do it again when he’s a...

Happy Father’s Day, to all the dads and granddads out there! We had a fun day celebrating together. We started off with a special breakfast outside on the porch–that was Brian’s idea! He pretty much set the menu, too–cinnamon rolls with lots of fruit and cottage cheese. 🙂 We decided to use paper plates and cups to cut down on the cleanup and to make it feel like a party. We got everything ready, and then got Brandon and Kendall to come downstairs for breakfast. We...
