I ran my second marathon last Sunday.
The so-called “City Of Oaks” marathon goes 10 miles through downtown Raleigh – the “City Of Oaks” – then, it turns onto the new greenway and the pain starts.

Here are a handful of random thoughts – four days after the fact.

One of the coolest things about being a parent is how every day brings new experiences as children grow.
For our 10-month-old, that means watching him learn about fundamental things like gravity, his reflection, and what things are and are not edible.

As of this past weekend, Kharis is officially toddling around every chance she gets.

I just have to point out how awesome our friends and family have been this week.
First of all, I need to brag on my wife:
Khar-bear turned 1 last week, and Steph pulled out ALL the stops for her birthday party. I watched her spend hours doing research, shopping for ideas, cutting out Mini Mouse ears and bows, trying to find the right fonts and colors, making gift bags, ceiling decorations, cupcake holders, party food…
She poured herself into making sure that Khar-bear had a birthday to remember.

You found the blog home of two big kids (that would be the parents) and four little ones.
This blog has changed quite a bit over the years. There was a time that I posted almost every morning as part of my routine. But that was several kids and several years ago.
These days, the posts are a lot more rare, but hopefully more substantial. And all those posts from the past are still here in the archives.
Feel free to have a look around...
