March in review

We haven't blogged much lately, which I guess isn't really news to you.

Not to make excuses, but we've kind of had our hands full—especially Carrie who's been busy taking care of the house and all of its inhabitants, assuming lawn work duties and working for a growing list of freelance clients. So consider this an apology and a sincere promise that we'll try to do better (but not a promise that we'll actually succeed).

In the meantime, here are a few of the things we've been up to the past month and a couple of shots I've taken. (To see the rest, go here.)

1) We took Park to see Sesame Street Live and learned that passing on the $10 ballon in lieu of a trip to the souvenir stand isn't exactly the most budget-conscious decision.

2) Carrie went country in her work for Nashville recording artist Logan Mize. After weeks of writing news releases, organizing TV appearances and setting up interviews, Logan's newest CD skyrocketed up the iTunes charts and his local concert was packed to the rafters with adoring fans. While you can't attribute all of this to Carrie's work, I will.

3) During a trip to Kansas City we attended a birthday party for our niece Kailey that featured an afternoon of laser tag and we inadvertently discovered that Carrie might be a bully. To put it simply there was enough trash talking and taunting of 11-year-old boys to make me concerned about Park's future.

4) I had surgery and got to know every inner thought of my temporary roommate Marv. Also, hernia surgery is a lot more uncomfortable—both physically and emotionally—than having half of your throat cut out (however if ever given the choice, I'd recommend you go with the hernia).

5) Park kept the holiday spirit alive by filling our head's with the Wiggle's Christmas—which he played on an endless loop on the iPad (thanks Mimi).

Here, let me share the joy.


And now for a couple of photos.
