Family Hike

A little while ago Patty went online and found a Charlotte hiking group on MeetUp.com.  She joined and signed up for a hike at Lake Norman State Park in Troutman, NC.  That hike was yesterday and Maegan, and I went along too.  (Darah didn’t go with us.) Maegan and I have gone hiking many times [...]

Visit from Amy

Amy visited us this weekend, along with her boyfriend Steve whom we never met before.  Here’s a video recap of the some parts of the weekend. And here are some other random photos too.

We picked Maegan up at camp yesterday.  It was a three hour trip.  We got there an hour early yet we still only managed to be the fourth car in line.  Before the gates opened the line of cars was literally beyond sight down the mountain road.  While we waited for the gates to open [...]

Camp Photos 3

Here are more photos of Maegan at camp.  This was the week that she went backpacking with llamas.  We pick her up tomorrow.

Camp Photos 2

Maegan is halfway through her two weeks at sleep away camp.  Because they’re between sessions we spoke with her on the phone this morning.   She said she was having fun and had lots of stories to tell us, but she was also very home sick.  Here are a few more photos from her first week [...]

Darah’s new obsession is playing Nintendogs on Maegan’s Nintendo DS while she’s been at camp.  Meanwhile there are real dogs in the house that she can play with (Hunter is with us for two weeks).

Camp Photos 1

We have several dozen photos of Maegan from camp in just the first few days. Most aren’t very good (she just happens to be in the background of many of them) but here’re four good ones.

Sleepaway Camp

Today we took Maegan to her first time at a sleepaway camp.  She’ll be away for the next two weeks at Camp Pisgah , located 140 miles away in Brevard, North Carolina, near the Pisgah National Forest, which is part of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  This will be the longest time she’s been away from [...]

We finally allowed Maegan to have a Facebook account.  Don’t worry, we’re watching her, I’ve got all her privacy settings set appropriately, and I’m guiding her through privacy and safety concerns.  I’m also schooling her in general Facebook etiquette, which among other things includes “Don’t tag me if I’m not really in the photo” and [...]

Incredible Grandma

Darah has been on a tremendous The Incredibles kick lately.  She watches the Pixar movie every day.  She wants to watch it when she wakes up and before she goes to bed.  And every time she see Mirage, the white-haired female character, she calls out, “Look, it’s Grandma!”
