Year 2, Day 32

We picked Miles up early today, got him dressed in his snazziest outfit, and hauled him to Asheville for a wedding this evening. As always, he was a big attention-grabber (although he did stop short of upstaging the couple)!

Year 2, Day 18

We drove back to Myrtle Beach tonight in advance of Miles's BFF Audrey's first birthday party. Miles slept for most of the drive, which was great for us; unfortunately, he was wide awake once we got to my parents' house, especially once he noticed the plush bear doll on the bed.

Day 300

Miles spent most of his 300th day of existence in a car headed to Myrtle Beach for Christmas.

Day 154

The heavens opened up on us as we left Raleigh tonight, compelling us to go ahead and stop for dinner while the storm passed. Miles didn't quite make it across the parking lot unscathed. Seeing as it was the first time he's gotten that wet without also getting a bath, it was a truly flummoxing … Continue reading Day 154 →

Day 138

Tonight, we drove back home to Myrtle Beach for the first time since Miles was born so I could go to my high school reunion my mother could see the baby again. This is a trip we've often made after work on a weekday, and I've always found making the drive at night to be … Continue reading Day 138 →
