Happy Birthday Caleb!

Caleb turned 3 yesterday!! We celebrated at the beach where we spent a long weekend with Dave’s parents.

This was the first year that Caleb really “got” that it was his birthday, and he sure had fun with it! We sang Happy Birthday several times and he was SUPER excited about opening his presents and eating his ice cream cake. This little man has been such a gift to us. What a delight. We love you Caleb!

I’ve said it before, but I really do think that Emma just gets better and better. We love her sweet little personality.

We took the kids to Baileywick Park last weekend before it got too hot out. We put Emma in the swing for the first time and she seemed to like it. It reminded me that I used to take Caleb to the swings when he was younger, so I dug up these shots. What a [...]

Dave made a quick trip to NY to finish work on the filing and attend the opening bell ceremony at NASDAQ. I loved seeing the pictures that he texted back to me as things happened. So fun, and such an accomplishment after lots of hard work. I took this shot of the ceremony on tv [...]

She was upset that she couldn’t play with the camera strap. Look at those fists! Oh my Playing with Grandma! She must have been saying something like [...]

A Trip to See the Planes

DSC_0344

We went on a family outing on Saturday: out to lunch for (unfortunately sub-par) Mexican food, and then to the RDU Observation Deck. This is a neat space at the airport where you can hang out and watch the planes take off and land. It’s a nice low-key activity that is really entertaining. It’s neat [...]
