Year 4, Day 172

We started the long trek back to Charlotte today, but not before Miles took care of feeding the chickens one last time after Uncle Randy showed him where the cracked corn was. He even managed to get some IN the coop. After that, it was hours upon hours in the car as we slowly crawled … Continue reading Year 4, Day 172 →

Year 4, Day 171

Vacation is obviously a time for relaxation. ...just look at this kid. But it isn't all fun and games, and Miles was once again put to work this evening. This time, he was tasked with picking peaches, and he executed this zealously, darting around amid showering fruit, wholly unconcerned by the potential for getting beaned … Continue reading Year 4, Day 171 →

Year 4, Day 170

Today was the event that compelled us to make the trip to New Jersey this week -- the graduation celebration in honor of Jaclyn's cousins, who recently finished their degree programs. It was a time for revelry, conversation, and exceptional food. Or, in Miles's case, collecting all the corn cob holders necessary for a complete … Continue reading Year 4, Day 170 →

Year 4, Day 169

When we started our vacation, Miles was really only aware of one thing: we were going to a farm. That carried certain expectations with it, and today was the day most of those would be satisfied, as Miles was going to get to interact with a variety of animals. Waiting patiently to head out to … Continue reading Year 4, Day 169 →

Year 4, Day 168

Yesterday, we left Charlotte for the first big family trip we've taken in two years, on a two-day drive that would take us first to Maryland then to Princeton, NJ. At the outset of our journey, almost certainly the last time we'll all be smiling in the car on this trip. After what felt like … Continue reading Year 4, Day 168 →

Year 3, Day 257

Miles has a ton of energy and keeping up with him can be a tremendous undertaking. Fortunately, he's got people around this weekend who are more than willing to indulge him on his "adventures." ...and by "adventures," I mean repeatedly throwing tennis balls over the deck of the cabin, then going downstairs over and over … Continue reading Year 3, Day 257 →

Year 3, Day 256

We started today off with a hike up to Chimney Rock, and Miles woke up absolutely ready for it (despite robbing us of a good night's sleep). While the ascent up the mountain is made easier with staircases, it still manages to be a pretty rigorous hike. I thought Miles might get tired out and … Continue reading Year 3, Day 256 →

Year 3, Day 255

We picked Miles up early from daycare today for another weekend sojourn to the mountains. This time, we rented a cabin on Lake Lure with some friends. Miles still hasn't stopped talking about our weekend getaway from a couple months ago, so naturally he's thrilled with the current accommodations. He wasted no time exploring every … Continue reading Year 3, Day 255 →

Year 3, Day 230

Taking a week off of work for my first staycation in...ever...means that I get the rare privilege of taking Miles TO daycare AND picking him up! Which also means we'll ham it up in the backseat whenever we feel like it!

Year 3, Day 192

After six months of limited contact with the outside world, we're finally able to (hopefully) release the pressure valve that is threatening to create a Shining-like scenario in our home. Today we departed Charlotte for the first time in months for a weekend in the mountains of western NC. We've all been looking forward to … Continue reading Year 3, Day 192 →
