Ted got to go on his first overnight camp out while we were up north, with cousin Jack, Auntie Kim and Auntie Anne, Uncle Josh and Auntie Kristen, and Grammie, too. There was minimal sleeping in the toddler tent, but we had lots of fun.
First s’more! (Thanks for the pics, Auntie Kristen!)
We had a visitor last week from Forks of Ivy. Aunt Deirdre drove near clear across the state to visit us, dodging treacherous rock slides along the way.
We went to downtown Raleigh, Trader Joe’s, and Hemlock Bluffs state park for a hike. She treated us to supper at The Remedy Diner in downtown Raleigh, which was very tasty. Lots of fun!
Fayetteville Street in Raleigh, enjoying the free wifi now offered.
Ted’s first walking-almost-the-whole-way hike, over a mile!
Visiting the cow, goats, donkey, turkey, and more at the farm yard.
Playing music at Loblolly Park.
They had all kinds of drums and bells for Ted to play.
My favorite part of the museum was the Magic Wings Butterfly House.
Ted enjoyed the Gentle Zone of the Play to Learn part of the museum. They had a section just for kids his age to run free and play with all kinds of age appropriate toys and a little house with stairs and a slide just his size. His favorite part was a ball track on the wall, where he was figuring out gravity.

Skype supper with Kate, Ted, Grammie and cousin Jack. Wish I could high-5 the Internet sometimes. 2010/09/02
@davidf Not yet - Haven't had time to go through the iTunes upgrade dance. 99mb and a reboot? On 3 machines? Who's got time for that? 2010/09/02
2AM toddler requests for Goldfish crackers lead directly to 7AM parent requests for coffee. 2010/09/02
@davidf Are you appreciating your music in iTunes 10? I just want a version of iTunes that doesn't need more RAM that Photoshop to run well. 2010/09/02
Office has mysteriously smelled like bacon for the last two days, but no one is eating/cooking it. This story probably won't end well. 2010/09/01
Doing the CSS z-index shuffle. Its like the Truffle Shuffle, but much less funny. 2010/08/31
Listening to LCD Sound System and Crystal Castles. Related, Grooveshark.com is pretty excellent for streaming. 2010/08/30
@hyperlink Free bagels are the fruit basket of the new day. We live in a magnificent age. Unless they're Starbucks bagels, which are crap. 2010/08/30
@NotGeneHackman When you go on vacation, no one does your work while you're out. Ever. Never, ever. 2010/08/30
Sending psychic nap thoughts to my boy, who is very much in his crib and very much awake. {{{{ sleeeeeeep }}}} 2010/08/28
Watching car videos with Ted. He just called a blue Bugatti a "Blugatti". Makes me a happy dad. 2010/08/27
@emmerblue Was nice to meet you and your Viget pals at Refresh last night! 2010/08/27
