It's tough to keep up with this blogging thing sometimes. Been a very busy week and a half. Had a good visit with the Twiddy's, who were nice enough to come up and hang out with Evan for a couple of days. Then had a fun visit with Dad and Julie. Went to Evan's lacrosse game, where he scored a goal and then made it to the UNC Spring Game with Dad and Julie and the McDaniels. Evan got some cool autographs and Graham had fun on the bounce houses. We watched the game with 30k other fans and I'm sure we all think Bryn Renner should be the starting quarterback. Finished the day with a great dinner at our house celebrating Aunt Molly's bday. Super-fun day.
Back to work and life last week. It was so busy I don't even remember what happened. We did have another fun weekend though. Evan and I went to the Railhawks soccer game with Giacomo and his dad on Friday night. They didn't get the win, but the boys still had a good time. Saturday we went to Evan's lacrosse game and he played well again - another goal and a couple chances that just missed. Graham went to a birthday party at Bull City Gymnastics in the afternoon. It was a great place for a party. The kids got to jump and slide into the foam block pit and jump on the trampolines. Thanks to Vidya for the fun party. Went to dinner to celebrate our Anniversary on Saturday night. Good night at Cypress on the Hill. Best calamari I've ever had. I had a nice Halibut for dinner and MB had a flash-fried Snapper - the whole thing (head, tail and all). It freaked her out a little that the fish was looking at her while she ate it, but it was very tasty. Had a nightcap next door at the Crunkleton and saw a friend that I used to work with.
Evan had a soccer game on Sunday against another U10 team and the boys really played well - came close to getting the win. They all looked very comfortable with the ball and were more aggressive than I've ever seen them. Evan had a good game and just missed a goal on a one-on-one with the keeper. Took the boys to Jason's Deli while MB went to bible study. They love the free ice cream after dinner - I'm a fan too.
Back to work today - busy, but got a lot done. Connor and Grammy came over after school and hung out with Evan until I got home and took Evan to soccer training. Then they hung out with Graham while MB went to a meeting at church. I got a nice 4-mile run in during Evan's practice. I caught up with an old friend from Myrtle Beach after reconnecting on Facebook. John Brunty lived in our neighborhood in Forestbrook and we went to school together in 7th-10th grade. I haven't talked to him in at least 20 years. He's living in New York after spending most of his post-college years in Charleston. Doing real estate and design work. Great catching up.
Going to be a busy week as I have to work our warehouse sale Thursday and Friday night until 9-10pm or so.
