So as I mentioned yesterday, Patty and Maegan spent the weekend with Patty’s mom and sister in Hilton Head. They had a good time relaxing at the beach, getting manicures and other girly stuff. While they were gone Saturday and Sunday, I was alone with Darah. After Darah only took a 15 minute nap on [...]
My mom is visiting us this week. Soon after she arrived we had bad storms roll through and several trees throughout the neighborhood snapped in the heavy winds, including one of the few trees on our property. We also lost power for most of the night and so we all just sat around and talked [...]
Two weeks ago the family took a trip to visit my sister in Washington, DC. A bit late, I’m finally blogging about it now. We left early in the morning on Maegan’s birthday, which means that Maegan spent most of her birthday cooped up in the back seat of a car traveling through the Virginia [...]
Patty is going back to school. She was recently accepted into the Pre-Nursing program at Carolinas College of Health Sciences. She’ll be studying to be an RN and hopes to one day (eventually) become a nurse anesthesiologist. But first things first. She should graduate within 3 years.

On Sunday I took Maegan swimming again. This time I went swimming too, and learned two painful lessons. #1 is that when you’re losing your hair (like I am), you have to protect the top of your head from the sun. #2 is that you shouldn’t close your eyes when trying to pick up objects [...]
We went to get new family portraits today. We took a family photo a couple of years ago but that was before Darah. Even better than the photos we got is that in addition to those we bought, they gave us low-rez copies of every photo taken on a disc. Check them out in the [...]
After 10 months, Patty is rejoining the workforce. She was offered a position with an architect in Charlotte (not as an architect) and she will start on Wednesday. Patty was contacted about the available position after I posted a message about her in Craig’s List, with a link to her resume.
We took a lot of photos this Thanksgiving week. We ended up with over 120 photos after combining everything taken among our three cameras, but I uploaded only eight to our online albums. Six new photos in the Darah album and two in the 2007 album (including one that Amy took of Maegan and I [...]
Patty and the girls went to the coast this past weekend but I didn’t go with them. I have plenty of vacation days remaining but I’m not allowed to use any of them during sweeps, and it would be pointless to spend 4 ½ hours driving to the coast on Saturday, only to have to [...]
