Eno River State Park

Today Owen and I went to the Few's Ford access of Eno River State Park with my mom, who is visiting from Illinois. We had a picnic and then walked down to the river. It was a perfect fall day!

Story Hour

Owen went with me and his Nana to his first story hour at the Parkwood Library in Durham yesterday. The woman who led it was great. In addition to stories, there were rhymes and bubbles. We had a wonderful time!

Duke Gardens

Mom and I went to Duke Gardens this afternoon. We enjoyed watching the ducks and swans and seeing the beautiful flowers and plants.

Penny's Bend Nature Preserve

Mom and I had a great hike today along the Eno River at Penny's Bend Nature Preserve. We saw some early spring wildflowers along the way.

Snow Day

I had fun building this little snowman, even though there isn't a whole lot of snow. Hooray for snow days!

Holiday 2008

We had a great time visiting my family in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Illinois. In Tennessee, we got to meet our new nephew Julian and even got to hold him in the NICU. His older brother Lucien is getting to be so independent. We also got to spend time with niece Katie in both Kentucky and Illinois.

Virginia Camping Trip

Caroline and I had a wonderful time camping at the Philpott Lake Campground near Fairy Stone State Park in Virginia in late October. It was very cold, with temperatures at night getting to around freezing. We built a wonderful fire with the help of some fellow campers, and cooked some tasty meals on the camp stove. During the day we geocached and hiked, and generally had a great time.
