Year 4, Day 205

I left Charlotte yesterday to oversee the wedding of my friends Richard and Renee, leaving Miles and Jaclyn alone for a night. Before I went to bed following the rehearsal dinner, I received a voicemail that Google graciously transcribed for me. If you think listening to the actual message was any clearer, you are incorrect. … Continue reading Year 4, Day 205 →

Year 4, Day 191: Double Weddings!

It's hard enough getting Miles to settle down and control himself for one social outing. Today, we had to do it twice, as we had two weddings to attend on the same day! Fortunately (and this is a big asterisk), the first one -- for our friend Melanie -- was attended virtually via Zoom, since … Continue reading Year 4, Day 191: Double Weddings! →

Year 2, Day 188

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)!

Day 280: Baby’s First Wedding!

The realization that my car had been stolen barely had time to sink in before we were up and at it again on Saturday morning, headed for the wedding we had actually come to Rochester for to begin with (as hard as it is to believe, the GTA was not the main driving force behind … Continue reading Day 280: Baby’s First Wedding! →

Day 275

Miles is a good enough traveler; he just gets a little testy after being in the car for a couple hours (but then, find someone who doesn't). That being said, it was clear by the end of our return trip from Myrtle Beach on Sunday that he had about had it with excessive traveling. And … Continue reading Day 275 →
